    Default Tuning for circle d 3200 stall

    well i just installed 4.10 gears transgo hd2 shift kit, trutrac locker and 3200 stall... my take off feels great.. but after that its just not the same as my 3,73 gears...what needs to be adjusted? i feel like the truck has the power to push these gears and get them moving but it just seems like it does nothing. ifeel like if it was back to stock on the second gear pull.. my 3.73 gears pulled much better... could it be my stall is unlocked at all times causing too much slippage and not enough power to the wheels.. is their a way to lock it as soon as it goes into 2nd? please help... truck got slower with these mods...

    Do you happen to have a log file? It may be quicker but feel slower because you don't have the RPM range you once did. I know from experience that a 3000+ converter thats built inefficiently, in other words, a cheap converter will never feel right on the street. I had a 4500 stall in my chevelle built by Yank and it drove on the the street exceptionally well but I have a Hughes 3000 stall in my firebird and it's not as nice to drive. In fact I too have inquired about locking it in 2nd gear but after many attempts I never did get it to feel right so I just live with it.

    Without knowing what engine and mods you have, it may be under powered for that high of stall on the street. Please post a log.

    Get engine tuned and running properly and see how the stall/trans go from there.
