a couple of weeks ago i installed a 2800 torque converter to my truck,..just wondering if i should retune my truck for that upgrade,..

 

How about some specs on your truck, make, model, year, engine? It's rare that the lock would ever come into play in 1st gear on most ford trucks, so the converter should work like it should in 1st. Depending where the stock lock-ups occur, a tune can help keep it from locking too soon. If you've installed a cam to warrant a higher stall, your lock-up points may need to be moved upward. I've seen earlier model programming parameters that lock the converter as low as 1,600 rpm.

 

ooo yeah i forgot,..i have a saleen supercharger producing about 8.5 psi long tube headers, e-fans, 2800 torque converter, electric water pump,..and basically thats it...

 

bump....

 

what did your tuner say?

 

mike troyer, said i didnt need it but,..ive heard local tuners that i should!!!

 

Stock converter stall is set at 2748 or 58 if I remember correctly. You shouldn't need a retune for 2800. Maybe if you had went to 3000. Also ask your local tuners if they even know what the stock stall is? If they don't know then I wouldn't really care what they said.

 

yeah ur probably right,..i'll just stick to what mike troyer said,..thanks

 

if mike says you don't need a retune then you don't need a retune

 

2800 sounds like it is right in the torque curve to me. I'd stick with Troyer. He is in such demand, there must be a reason for that.
