Thanks for the info, i was considering a stall convertor but I'm running a supercharger with a cam and headers, I was told by my tuner not to go over 2800 stall...what do you think?

Other than torque converter yes.

I have A couple of Questions for those that have installed torque converters....
How long ago did you install your converter?
Did you have the trans tuned?
Who did Tune?

[Frank]

You have to get it tuned.

I have had my 3600 in for just under a year at this point. I initially had my transmission tuned by a local tuner(not mentioning any names), and I HATED it, to the point I was thinking of pulling the converter out. but I instead decided I would get HP Tuners, and learn how to tune these transmissions myself. So that is what I did, and I could not be any happier with the transmission now! If you want me to take a look at your tune, I would be glad to do so. If you have your HPT file, or if you want to meet up at some point, I can read it out.

I don't have the Camaros unlocked in my tuner, I only have used the credits for my car, as well as a friends, but I can read yours out and let you know if I see anything I would change.

Not according to everyone. I have recently been told differently. This is why I am trying to explore all experiences and opinions.

If I swapped in a 3600 stall into my car I would have to get it tuned, we all would. Might be able to avoid a tune for a very small upgraded converter. With 4th gen the shift points would be all wrong with a stock tune after swapping in a converter.

[G-Man]

This is news to me but supposedly On the 5th gen Per Libertyville Chevrolet the trans will learn itself to the converter and adjust itself over a couple of weeks.
Has anyone installed converter and not had tune done and experienced this?

[priz23]

I didn't have my trans retuned after the converter was installed. It was previously tuned, so not stock, but wasnt tuned after the converter install. I haven't had any issues.

Thanks T it solidifies what I have learned. I have had a major guinea pig experience I will have to share soon to help everyone.

Happy to help.

My trans is tuned for the converter. I don't see how you could run a higher stall and not have to change shift points. I couldn't be happier with my Speed Inc. tune on my A6. Same trans in the Camaro.
