Sorry to hijack bro, but I have a 3800 fuddle comming in but the car was already tuned by TSP. Need to retune or not? Shifts at 6200 and banging out at 6500
So since i have a 98 i will not need a tune because 98s have less **** in th pcm when i put a stall in.
Yes and no... you won't have to get the solenoid codes tuned out as you would with a later model car but it still may need to have the shift points adjusted if its bouncing off the limiter. Also may be good to eliminate the torque management that backs off timing during the shifts as well as some other changes as the stall will tend to cushion and soften the shifts.
Overall it depends on the car... Some have zero problems after a stall others can't make it down the block without throwing codes or end up with some really sloppy shifts.
