Re: Computer problems with aftermarket converter?
you shouldnt have any.... people run 4400's with no issues...
the only thing I can think of that MAY/COULD happen later down the road is issues where the converter locks and unlocks from misfire codes. Its usually from running ported ends.. I had to set my misfire temps to like 140 and 139 so the converter didnt unlock while I was driving normally...
but you will be fine.. just get the converter and have fun <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

I think that i have read where the aftermarket converter would lock up to early because the computer thought that is was slipping too much. Ever hear of this?

Re: Computer problems with aftermarket converter?
I have an '01 with a TCI 3500 stall converter and was getting a P0757 code ("2-3 shift solenoid stuck open") until I deleted the PCM's detection of that code with LS1_Edit. I was told that this code tends to pop up on '01 and '02 cars when a loose converter is installed. Just a heads up! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I have 2002 also. When I e mailed Yank they told me I would have problems with a high stall like a 4000. I think his name was Mike. Said I should stay around 3000 or less or I would need reprogramming.
