Question Do i have a 3500 or not?

I just got my SSF 3500 installed and i was wandering if it is a 3500 or not. I was playing around with it last night, and it would stall like 2400 on the street with street tires. That sounded fine, but when i stomped it from a stop, it would flash to like 2800 and then start spinning. What do you think.

The factory tack is not to accurate, I dont believe you could not brake stall a 2800tci to 2400rpm, I dont beleive you will get a 3500 to stall to 3500 witha relatively stock motor..

4600 is right on the money for stock redline, 5100 for enhanced redline setting muahaha

too low for camming cars imo. 4600 is great for stock cam

Put the shift lever in manual 2nd,while holding the brakes,mash the gas to the floor.Only do this for a few seconds to check your rpm's.Converter should flash to 3500.Let me know how it works.
