Do I need a tune after stall install?? Like the title says if I put a 3500 stall in my 2000 Trans AM will I be able to drive immediatley after or will I have to tow it to the dyno shop for a tune??

It will be fine. I drove mine for a month or better untuned. If you lay into the gas directly after a shift it may throw a trans code and put the trans in limp mode. It will think the shift didnt take place and restrict the transmission functions. You will lose 1st, 4th, and lock-up. You will take off in 2nd and have one shift to 3rd and thats it. Its a real pain in the ***. You have to pull over and shut the car off to get it to reset.

I think mine would throw a 787 code. It would throw it into limp mode everytime. It would be right after a shift I would lay into the throttle and it would pop the code like clock-work. I learned quickly to stop doing that.
