Yes a 700 will operate without the computer from the vehicle. But you have to control "Torque Converter Lock Up" this can be done a few differant ways, 1) look for a kit from summit or jegs, 2) Wiring a switch yourself to manualy engage the TC lockup 3) Have the T/C L/U wired to instantly lock when the trans shifts 2nd gear (this is how mine operates, 3 years with 400+hp and no prob!!! ) here's a phone number for a trans shop here in buffalo,NY, he built mine for me and im sure he can help point you in the right direction.
