Default Who has installed a converter and still had the dreaded....

... TQ management power loss between 1-2 on a WOT pass. I see posts where some have resolved the problem with a converter and some still have it with the converter <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

I just purchased a VIG 3200 and was wondering who " STILL" had this problem after their converter install and did you need to remove TQ management to resolve the aggravation or was there another solution. I sure hope I don't need to spend anymore money after the install and initial tune to remove this PIA

For many people TM becomes more noticeable after a ‘verter install. It did for me. LS1 Edit fixed most of that issue though <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Is there degrees in which to tone it down with EDIT or is it either "on" or "off" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

You could make it so some TM was still there if you are worried about your tranny. My TM is only about 60% removed, because I didn't see or feel any real gains past that point so I saw no need to hit the tranny with any extra abuse.

With the lack of many responses I would surmise that the percentage of still having a dead spot on the 1-2 shift with my new VIG 3200 will be low <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I have a Vig3200. If you have ever driven a Powerglide ... that is what it will feel like. Nothing but rpms. When I take off from a stop, all you hear is 2500 rpms until the converter locks up. Then it's nice and quiet at cruise. If I go WOT, all you hear is 5000 rpms to 6000 rpms, back down to 5000 rpms ... repeat. I did not remove the TM when I installed my converter. I need to get LS1-Edit and kill it.

That won't be necessary..... when the time is right and tuning is deemed necessary.... I live right around the corner from ARE.... as a matter of fact they are putting in the verter <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
