3000 stall guys/gals come in!!!! Or others folks can help Yes I did a search but almost everyone has a higher stall the 3000, I was going to have it put in but no tune for maybe a month, anyone run one this small without tunning and run into any problems??? I know the higher stalls need a tune asap but do these smallers ones need them asap??

I believe the Yank SS3200 will run okay without a stall. It is an exceptionally tight 3200 rpm converter. A tune would help firmness, and you may want to adjust shift points to suit your taste, but these are just things that would enhance your stock converter anyway. You'd love the Yank. The SS series is great for a daily driver....still pulls, at idle, in drive and reverse and explodes at WOT. The best of all worlds with the SS series, IMHO.

It will work but you may need to readjust WOT shiftpoints
(added slip MPH vs RPM) if you had tuned them up tight
to what the old converter would do, and the low speed
3rd gear lock/unlock in street driving can be annoying.

Fuddle 3000 stll here with 2.73 gear's.
No tune and no problem's whatsoever.
But seriously, listen to those guy's that are saying to go with a bit higher stall, 3200-3500. I was trying to play it safe by going w/a smaller stall, and now wish i had gone bigger. Don't get me wrong, my stall was a HUGE improvement, but I can't help thinking I left a couple of 10th's on the table by not stepping up to a 3500.

^^ Well I already have the stall I also got it from Fuddle, my car prolly won't ever see the track, I just wanted to wake the car up a bit..John said that he could always restall it if i wanted as its still under warrenty, so if its too small i'll bump it up a little. Do you still need the nittos when your normally driving, or can i just put them on when i want to have some fun?

I have the TCI ST3000 After my install I Banged the rev limiter on the 1-2 shift so you may need something that can adj the shift points. I used my hypertech. It worked suprisingly well.

I'm starting to believe the tuning issues after a converter install are when its installed on a stock transmission (at least this is the trend i'm seeing). This tells me that either line pressure, lack of shift kit, or something to that effect are the culprits. I didn't do any tuning at all and my SS3600 does not come close to the rev limiter and shifts great with the transmission that went in at the same time. It is also vacuum modded which might make a difference.
We will actually bump the shift points up a tad rather than down, and up the idle speed (as most lightweight converters need).

I wonder what the difference between the yank 3000 and the tci3000? quality? I was looking towards the yank for quality I'd go with the 3200 but thats 200 bucks more.
