Shop Started DOD delete

[blondie70]

Shop got started on DOD delete with a Truck Norris NSR stage 1 cam.
Engine is out. Gonna put a good torque converter in in hopes of saving the trans from trouble. New starter, water pump, oil pump , motor mounts etc......

ecm tune should handle Engine Half@$$ delete.
tcm tune should account for 'good torque converter' and delay transmission problems,
provided you've been maintaining the ATF more often than GM suggested.

ECM tune ? I already had the ECM set to disable DOD....shop talking about a tune later to disable VVT ?? I think....is that what U talking about Marky ?

hopefully all goes well. pulling the engine feels like the quickest way to do it.

Ask Truck Norris (or whomever) whether or not that cam works better with VVT enabled, limited, or disabled.
If I was redundant about tuning the Ecm, hopefully I was not about tuning the Tcm (transmission control module)?

A thorough tcm tune
reduces Torque Converter Clutch slip (regardless of what hardware you bought) which helps the TCC last much longer
customizes BOTH shift tables ('Normal' & Tow / Haul) to suit your tastes while protecting the engine and transmission
can enable protocols that may protect the transmission from overheating, or delay or mitigate the damage

The cam is a non VVT cam. A 3 bolt cam and Summit did not send a cam plate?? or the 3 bolts or a timing chain or the right cover. I was depending on them to sell me the rite stuff. Shop mechanic sez it will need a tune to shut off the VVT electronics. Maybe a little tune to run better with the cam. I gotta talk to him about the trans tune.
I may be off on some of the above 'cuz I don't know what the hell I'm talking about...ha ha ha
Thanks...all advice appreciated. ps...I just ordered a cable to adapt the VVT cable to just a cam cable.
Anyways...mechanic says engine looks really good and they gonna take a hard look at the heads...change the seals regardless.....may take 'em to nearby city to the head shop...ha
