torque converter
I was thinking about having the new 3800 stall converter installed before i get home, but would i have to get a new tune with the new converter in? Or would it not hurt it to drive around with the new converter in there? Suggestions?

The only thing you would need a tune w/ is w/ the trans. The converter has no effect on the engine since you aren't putting more air, fuel, or removing more exhaust.
|
Whos converter did you get?
|
Darrin Burch at BC Automotive...VERY helpful and gave me alot of help in picking the right converter. I contacted over 6 shops and none were as helpful as he was. I HIGHLY recommend him!
|
It wont hurt to drive it without a tune. However, you wont be getting max performance.
|
i just need to make sure i can drive it so i can have it installed right before i get home and driving like 200 miles on it(not getting on it) wont hurt it til i get to the tuner.

not getting it tune wont hurt it at all. there are a few parameters that can be adjusted for locking and unlocking of the converter.
i have a 3200 or 3500 i forget but its un-tuned and it unlocks or slips open at 5500 RPMS in 3rd gear only. talked to tuners and they are like i never messed with your converter in the tune. not really concerned because it does what its supposed to and i picked up 5 MPH in the quarter switching to it. im sure with better tires and tuning out that slip my trap speed should increase a lil bit more. |
what mods do you have to your car?
|
my car is supercharged and i put in a performance automatic comp tranny after the stocker started missing shifts at WOT.
