Default Installed Yank have questions (slipping)

I just finished putting my Yank SS3200 in the vette. How long should it take for the tranny to stop slipping? Another words how long should it take for the fluid to circulate through the converter and tranny lines. My tranny is slipping bad after it runs for a minute or two. If I kill it then restart it's fine for a couple of minutes then it starts slipping. Yes I did fill the converter with fluid before I installed it (1 quart). I didn't fill the tranny because I didn't lose much fluid when installing it. Pretty sure it's low on fluid, that's how it's acting. Thanks in advance.

Does it need a tune?

Check the fluid level and check it when it is hot. The TC will slip since that is the purpose of it. A tune will not help in this instance.

You don't think a tune might help this issue?

The converter holds 3 qts of oil so you must top off the transmission to complete the system fill,
the converter fills in less than 30 sec. of start up

Car's already tuned. That's the answer I was looking for. I wasn't sure how much fluid the converter held.

Definatley not confusing the stall for slip. I took out a 4K stall for a 3200.
I'll add some fluid tomorrow.
