Just put in a circle D 3200 and I have a few questions. Will the new higher stall get along with my tune? Since I run boost I want to be sure. Also, I gave it a WOT run and it slipped on me ( maybe the trans, not sure ). It was a little low on fluid and I added some but I haven't hammered it since. Should everything be OK?
cirlce d aka chris makes a great product, you will deffinitely need a retune for the shift points along with other things. why it slipped i cant answer that, if you were low on fluid then more then likely that could have been the problem, top it off and giver her a go
Oh I have no doubts of the circle D converter, I've just never ran a stall this high and I'm not sure what to expect
you say it slipped, where did it slip? did you flat foot it or roll into it? did it feel like it slipped on the 1-2? if so did you put a vette servo or a billet servo? my converter flashes higher on my flat foot than 3200. my 1-2 was perfect with the smaller motor, but we had to jack the pressure up on the 1-2 bc it was too soft. if could be that you dont hae a servo so the line pressure isnt enough for your 1-2 and it makes it feel like its slipping. just my .02
When he nailed it ( I was with him) it jumped to 3000 like it should then as it was winding out when it got to 5700 it just slipped and jumped to 6k, thats when we pulled over and noticed it was low
yeah low on fluid will do that. did you add a bigger cooler? which one? im going to run a Tru-Cool 40k i need all the cooler i can get lol.
Yes, I run the 40,000 gvw tru-cool. I nailed it from a 30 roll and I think it was the 2-3 shift that slipped. Chad's (06 4.8) description is accurate. I have a FLT trans which has a vette servo. I'm just hoping that I didn't damage anything
i dont think you did, i bet its just because it was low on fluid.
i just did the 3200 as well,worked great actually woke up the little 4.8 lol...cnt wait to get it behind the sixoh....im about a quart over when i did mine hope thats not bad.
also my shifts got too soft atfer the install as well,i have a servo too...its not neck snapping anymore but will retune for that later when i swap.
Yep. Sounds like low Fluid.
i dont think your supppse to go over, but it probably wont hurt you. honestly you dont want the shifts neck breaking itll cause problems later on. i love my part throttle, the WOT needs to be a little firmer but im doing a built tranny anyways so itll go back stock.
Did you cruise around on it after you installed it and let it lock up a bunch before you went WOT? You're supposed to drive around for a few days checking the fluid before you make a hard run. The problem was probably just fuild levels though.
Yeah the computer has to adjust to it.Quote:

I'll admit it guys, I was too anxious to see what it would do on the street and I did a hard run a little too soon. Of course Chad was eggin' me on so that didn't help either, lol. It's been a few days and after a few fluid level checks I gave it a hard pull. It's a noticable difference and is not so sluggish down low. I am confident it will shave at least a few tenths off my track times.....if I ever race again.
O dont worry just like I egged u on about hittin it I will egg u u on til u finally race.lol
friends are good at that lol.
How much compared difference from stock on bottom end? Did you break tires before?Quote:

Yeah, I knowQuote:

It seemed a little loose for my taste on the street at first, but according to Casey that's just cuz I was low on fluid :sigh: The fluid is where it should be now and it's pretty tight just cruisin and flashes where it should :o I made a few hard runs and I'm spooling quicker - Haven't hit it from a dig yet but that's only a matter of time. If you're reading this Chris, :thanks:
