Powerloader re-program question
O.K., so I have decided the route that I am going to take for the next mod. Will be installing 3.42 differential and a Vigilante 2800 stall torque converter. My questions are:
Can I drive the car without any problems while I am waiting to get my powerloader reprogrammed? Am planning on sending it out soon but who knows how long it will take to get it back and as far as I can tell, there really is no programming done for the converter, only the gears. Without the programming, what would happen? Would I start hitting the rev limiter? Is the speedometer going to be off?
So, can someone explain to me what will happen if I do these two mods and don't do the programming change right away? Also, what other options do we have besides the powerloader?
Thanks, :confused:

Crap! Another $450 program. Ugghhh!!!
So when you say that the shift points will be off by going to 3.42's without a reprogram, will they be higher or lower than they are now?

Re: Powerloader re-program question (C5Rated)
Your shift points are set in mph so with the gear change you will be turning higher rpm of a given speed. You will also bounce off the rev limiter if you stay in WOT in most cases.
