Drove mine with a stall, [3600], for over a year w/o a tune.
No issue other then it was sometimes lazy to lockup at times. To the OP, you will be fine.

I have a 4500 vigilante single disk without a tune for about a year now. Lazy lock up or random lock up but it drives perfect. Daily driven. I WOT at every red light lol. No problems here

04 GTO IBM A4. 1 of 273. 1 7/8 pacesetter long tubes. Pacesetter 3" catless mids. SLP LM2 catback. Vigilante 4500. B&M supercooler. IPS motorsports Dyno tuned @352/350

Well, you've learned by experience why you need a tune ... limp mode, PWM, line pressure adjustment ... add to those shift points, shift times, lock/unlock commanding and probably other things I'm forgetting.

Oh yea I learned big time. I emailed Frost the other day and he said that he forgot to put the final file of the tune on my pcm. I haven't had a chance to send it back yet. So whenever I drive in the city for longer than 15 minutes, I go into limp mode. Last night it went into limp mode at a stop light on a slight incline. I had that thing at like 4500 rpms just tryna get going. The look of the people's faces beside me were priceless. I'm almost WOT with duals and Sweet Thunders going like 8 mph lmao.

Do that enough times and get ready for the shocker from the non-car person......
"Oh you're car must be real slow..."
"Why do you say that?"
"Because it was making all that noise but wasn't going anywhere!"
"Grrrrr."

And they are dead f-ing serious.

Oh I hear that from this guy at work all the time. The other day he said to me "That piece of **** still runs? Sounds like a damn Harley, making all that noise and not going anywhere. And THATS considered a sports car?" Then his kid hangs out the window and yells "I wanna ride in the race car daddy!"

I just laughed at him. Justice was served.
