Ok so I'm about to get my torque converter installed wit a tranny cooler for 260 everywhere iv looked they want 400 and up pretty good deal?? Also I talked to a performance shop and they say to put 300 to 500 miles on the converter before a tune y is tht and is 200 a good price for street tune or 300 for street tune and dyno run

sounds bout right to me, i paid 250 for my stall and cooler installed plus 300 for the tune and dyno time. my car went straight to the dyno after the install. no idea y wait.

sounds like a good price,do you do any other mods to the car requiring a tune?if you need a tune get it now.

well at the moment all i have is a k&n intake and ram air hood and i have a hpp3 and iv messed round wit it but the may reason is i dont want it bumpping the rev limiter and i hear the car runs alot better and should i get it before the converter or after

get the tune after the converter so it will shift when it needs too. i done a cam at the same time with mine. your car won't run right if u don't get it tuned after the install.

how awful is it without a tune? i was panning on doing my own install then bringing it for tune but the nearest place is ~120 miles

You're going to want to tow it then.

i paid 400 for my stall install with the tune. so 260 sounds like a good deal as long as its from a decent shop

the shops been there for 20 yrs and had some pretty nice cars on the lifts so I would say it's a goog shop I just took it today to get installed

I'm wondering the same thing I just don't want it bouncing off the rev limiter if it doesn't then I'll wait on the tune if it does then off to the shop I go

Mine ran perfect with no tuning, aside from if I went up a large hill at low speed and it shifted it went into limp mode because the computer thought the trans was slipping.

The price sounds about right for an install. Someone told you correct, the converter should be "broken in" before your tune, and before you romp on it hard.(I know the temptation is there).

Fmunguia

Thanks I was wondering if anyone had heard this too the tuner told me so between 300-500 miles sound right

My shift points were all off and really low like 5k WOT w/o a tune.

$260 is a great price because the tranny has to come out, Get your TCC checked for wear while it is out because that is a fairly common 60e problem and an easy fix while it is out...

It's not going to bounce off the limiter unless you are going wot. Don't go wot until you get it tuned.
It is not anything like putting a cam in without a tune.. More like headers and an intake.
