STS ?? .. I see it AT threads discussing TC's ... (I like accronyms!! .. I can't spell worth a crap! .. and I type even worse))
I guess you're saying TC for 'TurboCharger', but you probably ought to just say 'turbo' for that, because TC is most often used to mean 'Torque Converter'.
My appologies .. I should proof read before I post. I understand the TC for torque converter ... I think I was looking for STR (not STS) ... it has to do wtith a toque converter though ... associated with the stall I think.

The stall torque ratio is the amount of engine torque that the torque converter can multiply at a particular rpm level. By definition, stall torque ratio is when the turbine is at 0 RPMs and the converter is at maximum designed stall. This will produce a positive push on the turbine to increase the torque to the input shaft of the transmission, multiplied by the designed stall torque ratio of the torque converter. For example, a stall torque ratio of 2.0 would multiply 200 lb. ft. of engine torque to 400 lb. ft. of torque at the transmission input-shaft.
