I'm having a 3200 stall from Midwest installed today. Will I need a tune afterward? I'm not sure how the PCM will handle it.

Car is otherwise stock besides Headers and a lid.
Thanks.

i have to start out saying. "in order to get the most out of any new mod a tune can/should be done"
but no, you really dont need a tune after a TC install. mine works just perfect i didnt have anything changed. once you start playing with shift points etc it is pretty much a trial and error basis until you are happy. i lost some mpg but i do alot driving. i would save your money for a tune down the road when you NEED one. do some more mods (ported TB, LT's, cam, intake) and then you will need a tune. you are going to love the TC! make sure you have the biggest cooler imaginable!

Thanks, I didn't know how it would effect shift points and had heard that it may cause the pcm to think the tranny was slipping.

it should only make the trans think its slipping if the stall is above a 3500 or so, also depending on the year of the car, 01 and 02's they say are affected the most or easiest. Only suggestion i can say is GO BIGGER before you put it in, if not you will probably regret it later.

I've got it in now and it runs GREAT! I have a free re-stall so when it comes time for heads and a cam I'll go bigger then.

Mine is tuned with a 3800stall and still locked up in 3rd gear when punching it and the SES light came on again.

Get the car scanned to see what code its throwing, then have the code deleted.
