I was wondering how a 3500 stall converter would be on a daily driver? Thanx

 

Thats really up to the driver. A 3500 converter by LS1 standards is pretty mild. You really need to hook up with someone with the converter you are considering and drive there car. Some say go big or go home. Everyone has different tolerances/opinions on what they think is streetable.

 

3500 is awsome on a DD i think its the perfect size.

 

i run a 3500 but not in a daily driver. i'm actually kinda wishing i would've gone a little bigger. you should be fine in a daily driver though, just invest in a tranny cooler.

 

a 3500 stall speed with a 2.2-2.5 str will be tight and should feel like a stock trans.
i have a 3000 stall with a 2.2 1 str and it feels like stock.

 

I have been told that every time u take off u have to get the car up to 3500 before it locks in, is that true?

 

No, the car will still move under 3500. When you are just cruising (light throttle), you might not even notice it. Only when you stand on it will you really notice the difference.

 

thanx

 

I've got a vigilante 3600 in my daily driver. The car still rolls forward when I let off the brake. It really is alot different from stock, but you get used to it very fast. You'll be alright with a 3500... I kinda wish I would have got a 3800.

 

I just finished installing my TCI SSF3500 and this board was correct! It should have been one of the first mods I made. With HP Tuners I've adjusted my lockup to occur at 35 MPH in 4th gear which makes it very streetable. I was a bit suprised when at a 30 MPH roll I nailed it and smoked them real good. This is my DD car and I believe you will not regret making this modification.

 

what if it isn't tuned right away, will there be any problems?

 

What tuning is necessary with this?

 

I have been told it is good to have ur car tuned after the install, thats all I know

 

For the tune you might need to adjust your shift points and any torque management issues. If you do not get a shift kit, you can also set your shift firmness. I recommend a shift kit, tranny cooler and a tranny gauge with a TC install.
