What is wrong?
When I'm a little more than slow-go speed when my car hits second gear it feels a little bogged down with a loss of power, and then it burbles and starts to pick up speed. Now if I'm already in second gear and hit the gass, it hauls serious a**.
I think I may have a little too much fluid in it, but not much. I don't have a clue, because I'm new to this, but I do know that the thing is fast from a roll, but because of the concern above, I haven't hit it hard from a stop. Any suggestions

 

By the way the problem is from my Vig 2800. It is the first stall converter I've ever had <img border="0" alt="[chug]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_chug.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[chug]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_chug.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[chug]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_chug.gif" />

 

Could be TQ management. My '02 does the same thing but only at about 1/3 throttle. 1/2 throttle or more and it doesn't do it.

 

what is TQ management?

 

TQ Mgmt is in the computer. It pulls timing during the shifts to reduce the power going through the tranny. The impact is much more obvious on a high stall converter.

 

Can it be fixed with LS1-edit? And will it hurt to run without fix for a while, because I am looking into a cam in the near future and will have some reprogramming then. Thanks. <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

 

Yes edit will fix it and no it doesn't hurt anything (it is designed to help the tranny last longer)

 

My 02 does the same thing with the Vig 2800, it shifts into second between like a third or half throttle and it kinda of jerks you forward. Something i've been good at avoiding recently, just give it a lil more gas <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

 

Will it hurt the tranny to run it without the edit for a while?

My 98 does the same thing with my TCI3500, and more so when cold, even with LS1Edit altered TQ management (and not much to begin with since it's a 98). A little extra throttle does smooth it out.
