Go on tech' and look at the fellas who run automatic cars with a stall in it. alot of people will have it say like heads, cam, stall or bolt ons, gears, stall. shortened up version. many people say it that way.
i know. I've seen it on tech too. And personally I think its the stupidest thing i've ever seen. when listing your mods you want to do, instead of saying you want a "stall" it should be "converter," otherwise people who are new get misinformed and start calling one thing something that its not. I'm sorry, you can't call up summit or jegs and order a stall. nor can you go to a trans shop and ask for one. Stalls are where horses ****. Maybe you could get one at tractor supply.



*btw, any point in this post where the word "you" is mentioned, is not aimed directly at anyone, but is a generic term for the halfwits that started this trend.
