slipping and flare ups are 2 totally different things. Flare ups are ussually hydraulic problems but if your TC was slipping you wouldn't know unless you dyno or drag the car.


Also make sure you change out your differential fluid and trans fluid once in a while, it could just be fluid break down causing the slip.


My stocker never went passed 2800, but others have gone as high as yours.
 
everything on the trans is fine. my friend keeps telling my its a aftermarket t.c. or the trans has stuff done to it. i keep telling him everythings stock. but everything is fine w/ the trans. brand new fluid and gear oil for the transer case.
 
The stock stall speed should be around 2500-2800, although some can go higher. But, realize you're loading up all that power on the front clutch pack, which equals burning and slipping after a while.....especially on a stock trans.
And all the year TCs are setup basically the same...
 
my car starts to move but i push the button on the ebrake and pull it up and right when i launch, i let it all go. but mostly it holds. only once in the blue moon my brakes dont hold.
