torque converter question

[SandMan817]

I am planning on purchasing a 2600 stall torque converter next week. My main question is, will i run into any problems after i install it? Since the converter will be slipping more than stock, will the computer throw a code and start adjusting pressures? I was talking to my teacher and he was saying that the tcm controls the shift pressures and shift scheduling. ANy info would be a big help

you'll need to get a custom tune created to have changes made for the new/different converter...

what type of changes would be made if i got a custom tune? People on FSC have said that i wouldnt run into any problems after putting the higher stall tcc on but tthey could be wrong.

[SandMan817]

bump for mod to look into

You may want to raise the stall speed MPH a bit, other than that, it should be fine.

[SandMan817]

what do you mean the stall speed mph? sorry i am not really understanding what you are saying.

[mikel]

you asked what changes would be made in a custom tune for a TC....the common change most people make is to raise the lockup speed of the converter to avoid lugging on the highway.

[SandMan817]

my current lockup is around 40 or 45mph. The engine drops down to a pretty low rpm but it isnt lugging it or anything. Would i be fine not having this adjusted?

[mikel]

Yup.
