After my stall converter and shift kit, the only thing I changed in Edit was deleting torque management. If you do or have done a cam swap as well, you'll want to turn off the misfire codes and change your misfire test temps, so your converter won't have trouble locking up. Maybe someone else has some other ideas.

hey marc, i didnt change anything with mine on edit. I guess you could just mess around with the tcc lock up tables to get it to lock up earlier and also just firm up the shifting in the positive pressure table

After i installed the yank tt3000 i didn't do anything to the truck.The trans felt a little funny for about the first 50-75 miles of driving,but i believe the pcm was just trying to adapt to the way the converter was.After about 100 miles it felt and shifted fine.I don't think you have to do anything.What brand of converter is it?I know the yank has a 150 mile break in period so take it easy. <img border="0" alt="[chug]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_chug.gif" />

well, marc got a 4200 or something like that so im sure he will need to mess around with his lockup tables if he wants it to drive normal. but i dont think it should be too much trouble

i should have the LS6 cam and springs back pretty soon Marc. that would be a very nice cam for ya. i would sell ya my 216 cam but a guy offered me 250 for it. and i only bought it for 175 so i have to take that deal. especially with the hammer cam costing me 300 bucks.
