easiest way to find out, go out and test it. put it in gear, and slowly rev it up with the brakes on. when the rear tires finally break loose, that's right where your stall speed is.

Yes, you can do a stall test, however it won't be accurate.

that is an ase approved method for checking stall speed and is 90% accurate (if the trans isnt slipping). also, the more torque an engine produces, generally the stall speed will be higher
