Default A couple of questions after converter install

This week I am finally having my Vig 3200 installed. When I pick it up is there anything that I should do as far as break in for it? Will I need to reprogram HPP3 shift points or is that something I will have to play with? Any advice would be appreciated.

you dont need to do anything computer wise. For the break in, run it through a bunch of different RPM ranges for a few hundred miles and you should be good to go.

For the best times, you will probably need to tinker with the HPP at the track.

Thanks for the info guys. Hopefully TM won't be a major issue for me. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" /> How many miles would you guys say I should put on the verter before giving it a try? I really want to run this weekend but I don't think the car will be ready til Thursday. Thanks again <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

The converter comes with a manual for break in. I followed there guidlines for proper lockup breakin then I went out and beat the hell out out of my tires.
