    Trans issue or something else?

    By "slows way down" I mean: you can watch the rate at which the needle is moving and it will nearly look like its going to come to a stop, and it will do it only between 4100 and 4300 roughly.. it doesnt drop any, it never completely stops moving, but the rate at which the rpms are climbing...

    Trans issue or something else?

    Tune is back to stock and has been for a few months, all stock now except the intake. AM tried 3 email tunes and all pinged in a high load-low rpm situation(mashing the pedal under 2k). I have done done a visual check of the intake and see no leaks. Trans fluid level is fine, but not bright...

    Trans issue or something else?

    Trans issue or something else? // vids added // Car is all stock except a cai. Has had sct tune and Am tunes on it but was only a few days before back to stock.

    OH SON OF A *****

    That does suck, I hope it gets all fixed for you and that your all a-ok. It is possible that you can get a cobra front put on I believe, you will have to pay the differance in the parts cost and for any extras that may be needed to mount it(fogs, bolts, fittings etc). I had a friend who...

    Grand Prix GXP

    As I stated above my friend owns one and while we havent run the cars yet I have seen him take off hard from a dig, and the car did move pretty good, I dont know about spin, but the wieght transfer looked horrible considering it is FWD.. looked like it was going to pull a wheelie lol. I told...

    Keep tuner or no? Opinions please

    I have not, I figured if they needed it they would ask. If I try another email tune I will ask them if they want datalog info.. Id be glad to log it.. they just havent asked and I wasnt sure they needed/wanted it. It makes sense that it is real lean, or way too much timing.. after the drives...

    Keep tuner or no? Opinions please

    Yes, I knew that.. I tried taking 4* timing out under 2k and saw no change in the pinging. After that I was trying out email tunes and they said to just run it as is and report back if the pinging still exsisted or not. Its kinda stupid because the range it pings in is a spot where you would...

    Keep tuner or no? Opinions please

    Ah, I gotcha now.. Yes I would for sure. The plan I have in mind for the car was basically going to be like this: Get tuner, and use the canned or email tunes for a little gain and trans adjustability(on email 87 oct tune), then gears and use tuner to adjust for axle ratio change(on same...

    Keep tuner or no? Opinions please

    Not sure exactly what you mean by "dont race right".. my goal was to get a few mods on the car and start going to friday night "test and tune" at my local track for fun. If AM could get the 87 oct tune right I would ask for a 91 oct tune, but I figure one thing at a time :shrug: I have put...

    Keep tuner or no? Opinions please

    I wish I could adjust on the stock tune, but the SF3 doesnt allow that, can only modify the canned and custom tunes for things like gears, shift points etc. There is a dyno shop in town that is listed as a SCT dealer, I just dont want to bring the car in there yet since its basically stock...

    Keep tuner or no? Opinions please

    I have had nothing but bad luck with my sf3 tuner since I got it a couple months back. None of the sct tunes ran right, and after getting three tunes from AM things arent getting any better. My wife is mad(her car, she drives it daily) because she wanted exhaust and views the tuner as a waste of...

    Tensioner replacement

    Ok, this is why I posted, I found differant information. Was there a change made t the part? My Haynes manual has nothing on it. My tensioner is only held on by one bolt that I can see.

    Tensioner replacement

    Cant find any info on it in my manual.. I assume its just the one bolt, just wanted to check if I was correct and if it was regular old lefty loosey or not? Thanks. edit: I did search, but didnt find the exact info I was looking for :D

    Pinging on SCT tunes

    Awesome, thank you. Yes I just finished emailing him. I would like to add here that AM and Ryan have been nothing but helpful each time I have contacted them. The past few days with the car issues have been a little stressful and I am thankful for all the help.
