the 3200 circle d is going in tomorrow. need some advice on whether tuning is needed to be an immediate thing. i already have a street tune with my shift points adjusted, torque management, higher tranny fluid pressure, a/f ratio(which is all fucked anyway since i punched the cats), and a timing advance.
now problem is, im in north carolina putting in the stall, which is my only option for various reasons i wont get into, and i have to drive to florida where i can get my current tune tweaked for free instead droppin some cash i could use to get there on, on a tune here. will it affect me a whole lot on a 14 hour drive thats only about 50 miles off highway? suggestions?

A member on here (hirdelj, I may have misspelled it) ran the nv3500 behind a 6.0 for some time I believe. All I know about them is if you want to shift fast at high rpms, good luck. The syncro's weren't made for that.

I'm not a 100%, but you might burn up the clutches or a solenoid if the tune or too far off. If call your tuner and ask them.

I had to take a saw to the ones i bought and cut like an inch off the tips when i had them on my truck. I think it just depends on the type u buy.

I had reaction bars and I now have cal-tracs. In my opinion don't spent money on traction bars, invest the money in some cal-tracs.
