Default stall w/o shift kit?

Will a tci 3000 stall be ok w/o a shift kit or aftermarket servos?

There are alot of people running aftermarket converters w/out shift kits and servos.

I have no shift kit or aftermarket servos and I am running a TCI SSF 3500.

I heard you need a shift kit ONLY to firm up the now sloppy shifts.

As for the servo's? I am considering upgrading my servo's when I drop the new 3600 Vig in.

But I will be going with a trans go shift kit. Might as well right? Firm up the sloppy shifts and your car will run stronger down the track.

My shifts aren't "sloppy" after the converter.

I changed my shifts times w/HPtuners and they feel better than they did w/the stock converter.

I'll be getting a shift kit for the extra line pressure at WOT.

Programming has sufficed for me. You can
"unslop" things plenty with a few settings.

i noticed no looseness with my shifts after my TC install.i had my car tuned prior and my TM deleted so that could be why.

you dont need a shift kit or anything else like that to run a high stall converter. I have never ran a shift kit in my car and my trans is stock (untouched) with about 5 different converter changes (3200,3600,4200,PS4400,PT4400) and the car is almost 3 years old. As said though some tuning tweaks can make all the difference in how a stalled car performs on the track and driveability on the street.
