So guys I just recently picked up a Yank SS3200 stall and I'm curious to know if I will need to have the car tuned to the stall? Thanks

Yes! You'll likely be hitting the rev limiter and not shifting properly. You have to get a tune to reset your shifting points, idle rpm, line pressure, etc. But you can drive it around regularly with no problems until you get a chance to take it in for tuning.

Ok great that's good to know. I figured I would but I was thrown off because my co-worker told me that I wouldn't have too. I kinda had my doubts and wanted to make sure.

if your car is OBDI you may experience stall wall

where the trans will not want to shift out of first and then go into limp mode

I'm running a 3000 stall and I don't know how much difference an extra 200 rpm's of stall would make, but I haven't had mine tuned.

No hitting the rev limiter.
Shifts fine.
Stock shift points.
Stock idle.
Stock line pressure.

It's OBD2

Yes, it's really me. The legend of all announcers. I know, I'm getting old so don't mention anything about my age. At least the voice is still in one piece.

I think if you were running a real stall like a Yank 3600, it would be a totally different story.

my 3000 stall caused me issues with stall wall that was it

then again it was only under hard launches that would cause the tailshaft to flex slightly and interrupt the signal to the VSS sensor

depends on how the car drives. you dont necessarily need a "tune" but you may need some shift points changed.

hardware pretty much always requires software, bottom line, theres very little you can do anymore without tuning

Possibly so! The OP was asking about a 3200 stall though.

I'll find out soon enough, since I'm about to have FTI build me a 4000 stall. I do expect to have the stall wall issue, like myltwon said. My plans for the car have changed since I bought the little 3000 stall, but it performed pretty well for not being a real stall.

I would never run a yank 3600 simply because so many people think it's the only way to go. I see it recommended for everything from bolt on cars to built strokers.

I'm concerned about this also... I will have to ask the shop who is doing it for me to get it tuned to the stall... or even take it to SpeedInc... Maybe a mail-order tune?
