Hi Tim,
the mopar performance catalog lists the torque converters by that k factor
also, .....so your 145k would be a 1900-2100 stall with a stock engine and
up to 2400 with mods.......I put in the mopar p5007299 which is a 166k and
the recommend stall is 2250-2350 and it stalls on my motor at 2800....
you will like the difference, the mopar unit is a great mod, i purchased
mine from Jim at Mckiny Chrysler(972-569-0196) for 161.00 shipped to my
door.
