When ever my converter locks up around 45 to 65 MPH and then I try and give the car gas to say pass another car on the road the car accelerates very slowly. The equivlent to like 1/8th throttle. No matter if I press gas pedal to 1/4 throttle, 1/2 throttle, or even WOT it still accelerates at the same slow speed. But once its has been locked up for awhile it will then accelerate normally. Is this normal? The car has a Vig 3600 stall and a full dyno tune and the shop who did the tune said thats what happens.

so you can go to WOT and it doesn't kick down?

To me it sounds like your tuner doesn't know how to adjust shifting and downshifting correctly. JMHO

Yea. Its seems to kick down if I try at it a few times or if I continue to drive on for awhile. Makes it a pain in the *** to try and pass cars on the highway.

I don't think it should be like that. When you put a stall in it should hit harder at wot no matter what speed your going. Thats one of the biggest reasons for a stall is so you don't have any dead spots. My SS3600 goes in wednesday so I don't have personal experience yet but I did a lot of research and what your explaining doesn't sound right. I would take it to another shop and see what they think.

i would take it back to the 1st shop so that they dont assume someone else touched it. the symptoms your having arent sounding right. i know with my VIG, when i hit the gas it takes off like a rocket.....

dont mean to hijack the post but heyitsTaJay how do ya like the stall?? I think my yank kicked the can so im in the market for a new one and the one u have is what ive been thinkin... Im lookin for one that revs up pretty good under light acceleration, hits likea @#$%^&, i want it to be obvious to me that i have a stall in it... sound like thats how urs acts or shoulda i got to the 3600??

well if your coming from a YANK which is known to be the "best" you might not be satisfied, or you might be happier than ever. i would do a search or post on how "different" it will be going from what you had to a VIG, and see if people say "go with another YANK or "yah, switch to a VIG" my personal experience with mine is awesome. it flashes the at around 3700 even though it says 3200 (vig's are known for this) i love the converter, and wouldnt trade it for the world. i think you will like it too, but i dont know what yank you had?????
good luck J
