Iam also interested in a torque converter like a 3000 stall, my car is stock except for exhaust and moser 373 gears and I emailed Dan from Finish Line Performance and he says that a tune isn't necessary with that stall unless you are hitting the rev limiter

Also, without changing any of my programming for my new vig 3200, my car went 4 tenths quicker in the quarter and didn't have any issues with the tranny when running at wot. It's only when daily driving comes into factor with the tranny performing flawlessly. Friday, I will be having a well know tuner tune my tranny. This should fix any issues I have with the shift points and lock up ratio.

I've got a PYE 3500 in my car with stock tuning ... it drives fine. However, torque converter lock and unlock could use some improvement. It is not currenlty unacceptable but I can tell that improvements could be made to this with tuning ... something I will do at some point in the future.
