The 'K' factor is an engineering term that means the speed of one member
divided by the square root of the torque on the same member." This is
calculated at stall conditions. On a 298 mm torque converter you can
multiply the "K" factor by 14.2574 to get the stall speed.

Subject: DML: Torque Converter Question (got new one installed, weird
stall speed)
I dunno if I posted this already, but when AAMCO pulled the tranny off, the
found the flexplate to be just fine...
What they did notice was the torque converter was missin a weight, and had
flew off, and tore up the converter while being flung around in there..
AAMCO continued with their rebuild (finishing tomorrow AM) and replaced the
torque converter with a converter that she said "I would notice a
difference" with... she said the stall speed is higher than the stock
stall...
They rate all their converters in "K Factor" or sumthin like that, she said
mine is a 145K Factor
What on earth does that mean??? What stall speed converter did they put in
there?? HELP!!!
I wanna know what to expect when I get her back :)
