Mods and idle question
Ok guys, my father had his trans rebuilt with a three disc billet converter, modded valve body etc etc. At the same time he got stage one injectors (Swamps IIRC) and had a custom chip burnt. Everything seems to work well but he doesn't like how the truck seems to idle at 900-1000 rpms and tends to creep in traffic. So is this the result of the chip, the bigger converter...both? TIA!

I put those stage 1's in my Van and it will idle low enough to almost not need a pedal at a stop sign. If I romp on it hard and let off quick, it will Idle like its trying to catch its breath like a dragster engine but not that dramatic. Then it will idle nice and slow. I know this didn't help alot but just saying I have those injectors and it idles great.

It is going back to the shop that installed the injectors tomorrow so I guess it will be retuned. I just didn't know if this was par for the course with the heavier converters. I have never driven a triple disc converter...I have the stock on in my truck and when my dodge's 48re was rebuilt it only got a billet single disc. Thanks guys!
