Converter tuned? Howdy gang, I have a 3500 Neal Chance converter, upon reading various threads I see people mentioning a requirement of tune for the converter. What tuning needs to be done? What are the consequences of not getting this tune? I've maybe put 40'sh miles on this new setup but I'd like to make sure its not gonna be a shortlived one.

Typically TM is deleted and the WOT shift points are adjusted, but seldom are the part throttle shift points and TCC apply/release values ever adjusted. This is what is meant by tuning a stall converter, this will make the converter more fun to drive around with. Plus, you may need to adjust shift point pressures to keep from throwing any codes like some older models used to (PO757).

Im actually in the same situation.....My car is mostly stock but i just added an air lid and a catback, but am thinking of a converter switch....will the hand held tuners turn off the TM and do the other needed tuning....if so then ill get a crane power tuner first then a torque converter. thanks fellas
