New stall Do I need to Retune?? I use to have a TCI SSf 3500 stall and stock tranny. I just purchased and installed a Finish Line Transmission Level 3, which also includesa Trans go HD2 Shift Kit and a Vigilante 3200 Stall. Do I need to retune for the new Level 3 Transmission and Vig 3200 stall? If so I plan to go to Speed Inc. for a basic Baseline Tune.
Another quick question is there a possible way that a car can be tuned the wrong way? Just a quick question.
Thanks
Robert

no need to retune when doing transmission work (unless you want to adjust shift points or valvebody pressure... but i dont know if that can be done on your cars)
yes a car can be tuned too rich, too lean, too much timing, not enough timing... but if you go to reputable tuner this will not be a problem (just ask for a print out of the a/f ratio and a knock sensor readout to make sure)

I would get a tune. If you go to speed inc they will take care of you and get it done right. They do most of the fbody tuning in the midwest and do a great job.

My car currently has the GM basic tune for my old set up with the TCI SSF 3500 stall and stock tranny. I plan on getting it done as soon as the weather gets better here in Chicago. Speed Inc is about 20 miles from Chicago in Schaumburg.

The basic tuning stuff is only about $150 I think.... but tell them TJ Swanson referred you and you might get a discount... I know I mentioned I was referred to them and they helped me out real nice! Talk to Larry, he'll take care of ya.

Your shift points are probably a tad off. They might not charge you full price, no need for them to go in and delete torque management since it was already done.
