I put in a Yank SS3800 into my 98TA 1 month ago along with a B&M 28000gvw trans cooler. No tune or shift kit and 2.73 gear and I absolutly love it. No problems at all. I think you will be fine as long as you have a good trans fluid cooler.

i have a vig3200 and love it to death. i wish i woulda got it the day i bought the car, but you should be fine with no tune. a tune for me is 535, and i really dont think that i will get my moneys worth right now. if you go the "bolt-on" route like i am. my plan is do allllll the bolt-ons i possibly can do, then go and get a tune. to me that is the best route bcuz i will have all the bolt ons and then with a tune i can maximize the hp from each mod, and tune the converter all at the same time.

i ran a vig 3200 and a 3600 without a tune and I have NEVER ran a shift kit on my car, they are really not needed.

My car is an '01 but i dont see why that would matter.
