STEVE-O Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 I would say no because it effects the trans and not engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagner Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 It might depend on the car. The tune might also help to max out your new stall. The new stall will effect how the car hits and where on the power curve. With my car we put a bigger stall in it the re-tune helped to use that new power curve.

A tune would help but not needed if thats the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillJoy Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 The Marauder did not require a Tune FOR the TC. However, modding the Tune for the life of the Transmission's Life WAS done. :thumbup: KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
351mach11647545510 Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 it for the avalanche. i ordered a transmission from gearstar transmissions and opted for a little bit of a higher stall. I would like to get a tune sometime in the near future, just hoping it isn't required right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Most likely not required, some of the lock-up functions can be adjusted to smooth things out. I doubt with a small stall like that it will be a big deal and you may not notice at all. As long as the converter has the same size lock-up clutch as stock it should have no adverse effect as wear. The factory will have partial lock-up at times and is why it's important on many converters, especially those with a smaller diameter and in effect a smaller lock-up clutch, to tune that out. In my opinion if the converter is stock sized (deminsionally) and has a really mild stall like you mention I think you'll be just fine.
