Don't let it **** you off to bad you will get it ironed out. Are you planning on taking it out to the first street night at Richmond.

I was having problems with my transmission leaking last year. The couple of times I went to the track made it worse it turned out to be the main control in the transmission. So hopefully I will be able to go to the track more often now with no leaks. I will not be able to make the March date but me and a member that I met on the forums TD1320 will probably be there on 4/14. Do you ever go to Dinwiddie did you know they are a NHRA track again and from what I have heard they had to make some massive improvements on the track.

Did you reset the ECU at any point by removing the battery ground for a minute or two?? If the computer sees anything it doesn't like, the event could effect it's function regardless of the baseline tuning maps that are loaded.

RE: I have had it with my car!
I know you said yours seems OK now, but I had a "safemode" issue on the Dyno a few weeks ago. Turned out the plugs were very fouled apparently from me trying to force something to happen when it went into safe mode. I felt the same power loss after my tuner checked the tune and got the computer issues dialed in. The car very gradually got worse and worse until I could barely drive it. Dealer check and all was good....but pulled plugs and changed them and now I'm back on top of the world. A side note..mine was during a Dyno run to see HP #'s after a pulley install also. I never completed a good run so I have no idea what it does. I was at 258 at 4100 rpm before safe mode dropped me off.

, yeah I don't know what they actually did for my car. they only got two pulls on it and it shower less but it was not operating full strength. I will check the plugs though, that could be it. Thanks for your help, I did not even think about that.

I have never raced at VMP, I need a helmet. How is Tony doing? I have not talked to him in a long time. Next time you talk to him tell him Ashwin (which is me) says hi. You can also just tell him 757GT says hi.

We will definitely have to hook up at Richmond Tony went with me last time I went . I am going to see if he wants to get together in April I will let you know when we are going for sure . Tony just got back from a short stint in Iraq and is doing good.
