Pro-Torque 2400 owners
I have a question for those of you running the Pro-Torque 2400 like I am. How much slippage do you have in normal driving? If cruising at about 35-40 with no TCC lockup and you back off the throttle to coast, when you give it gas again to accelerate how much does the tach go up before it "catches" and goes? My stock converter was only 200-300 rpm.

I had one for a couple of years, but I never noticed since it was not a problem. The car drove like stock, the Powerloader could have compensated for any slippage through torque management.

I have the PT2400 I have not noticed any slippage when I accelerate from 35 to 40 mph. Like Al said my car drives like stock. I also have the Powerloader that might be the reason I have not felt any slippage.

Vettepartz,
I think what you are seeing is normal. It will probably really "catch" when it hits somewhere near 2400rpms. The reason your stock converter caught in only around 200-300 rpms is because you were probably coasting down at around 1300-1400rpms. I believe the stock stall speed is like 1600-1800rpms. I know I have a 2900-3100 stall speed and it really catches at around 3100rpms. I guess there may be ways to adjust this by programming the computer......

Well at 35mph at the coast end, mine is taching about 900. To get it up to start moving again, the engine has to rev up to 1700, or about 800 more rpm. These seems a little loose, or is it normal?

Re: Pro-Torque 2400 owners (Vettepartz)
That seems a little odd. When you say moving do you mean moving at all or moving but moving fast???? I never felt the slipping on my 2400, it felt tight. I did have the compter programmed, but prior to even getting the converter. I have been trying to get in touch with the guy that programmed my compter(Ron from Pro-Auto Tech) but he fell off the planet and doesn't believe in customer service. I wanted to ask him what was programmed specifically for torque converter issues like slipping and tq management. You should see if anyone has a 2400 in your area and compare. I would also suggest calling Joe Rivera from Pro-Torque and ask his opinion. He knows best....

Re: Pro-Torque 2400 owners (Vettepartz)
John, I really don't think you have mechanical issues. Too much chatter about programming woes with this release. I suspect it's more likely that you have issues related to TCC lock/unlock driven by the broken ISS/OSS computations.
