duh, i meant will it cause any driveability problems?

dont think so, should just be like driving a stock trans again. infact, should get better gas milage

 

[Big Cam Z28]

good, i think thats what i'm gonna do until the blown 4L60E is ready to be put back in

get a stick car and not have to worry about problems like these, plus why would you want to drive a sports car with a auto, it takes the "sport" outta it

wrong! a cam car requires a stall to idle and have good drivability. The car can be made to run decent with a re-tune, but the idle will need to be raised to prevent from stalling. The higher idle will also cause the car to have a simi cruise affect when it is idling in gear.

EX: so you are at a light and release brakes..the car will want to accelerate without any throttle applied

ask Mikey..without his stall the idle was higher and the car was lazy down low.

why not install the stall again ?
