stall questions i may be buying a 98z28 soon and i was wondering about stall converters. it is an a4 and i would like to run a stall somewhere between 3-4k. i heard that if you get over 3200 you have to reprogram the computer or it will think the tranny is slipping. is this true? is so, how do you do that ?(ls1 edit? hypertech?)

If you talking about torque managment, it shouldn't be a big issue on a `98. I think the added stress of launching off a converter would hurt the tranny more than not having the PCM reduce power during the shift anyway.
On a side note: the "car rags" also say a cutout reduces power, lids are differenet, SS or WS6 is faster than a Z28 or T/A, converter doesn't help a stock car a lot, a 3500 converter is unstreetable, M6's are faster than A4's, HPP3 actually gives hp, etc.
