I am installing a Lt4 hot cam in my 94 z-28, does anyone know if I can run my stock torque convertor. I know a stall will be better but for now I would like to run the stock torque. Also I am going to have my processor programmed in the near future, can I run it for a while with the stock processor and lt4 knock module?

 

I am gettin the same setup, and we are about to test it out, I will let you know. I have 3.73's in the back also. It is getting a custom computer tune which is needed, and a shift kit, so we will find out.

 

I ran the times in my sig without programming.

 

You can run it without a tuning, but the tune helps balance stuff out...

 

are you at high alt?

 

if he had tuning i bet he woulda trapped at least 109.

tuning is necessary with any sort of aftermarket cam, no matter how mild. Hell our stock motors benefit quite a bit from tuning. As for a stall, you should be able to run your stocker, however I'd invest in a 3000 stall if you're serious.

 

i don't think it that high since I'm in middle ga.(www.silverdollarraceway.com)

BTW, I'm not saying to not get a tune, I suggest that you do get at least a mail-order tune. I haven't got one yet cause I do not have or know anyone with a laptop. I guess I could always take my comp outside the house and do it but I'm a lazy SOB.

 

ive got a computer with lt1 edit on it that im willing to sell if you wanted it. the computer old but its got xp, lt1 edit, and data master to log everything you do. i would let it go for 250 the only thing is i cant get into the administrator account.

 

I ran the stock converter for 4 years with no problems. I absolutely had to have a tune on my TA after the Hot cam install. The thing spit raw gas out of the tail pipes. My computer had no idea what to do with the cam. I am surprised more people are able to run without a tune.

 

I ran it on a stock converter and stock tuning for about 6 monts driving about 300 miles every other weekend. Ran great and loped like a mother through mids and a hooker cat back.

 

yeah, i had a little bit of cam surge with my hotcam even with tuning. but that was it, no other problems.

 

I ran a 13.4@107 no programming. Got it dynotuned and ran a 13.2@110.....Street tires and bad track prep owned me. But you see the MPH increase. I think i got like 21 RWHP from a dynotune.
