Hey, New chick.
Hey people.
I'm Chelsea, I'm 18 and I'm a full time college student.
Basically, I'm a Die hard GM fan, But I also have a love for Fords..
Crazy isn't it? Most of my Ford friends call me a "Closet Ford lover". Anyways, I've been into cars for several years, since I was three actually. I live in a split family, What I mean by that is that my dad is all Chevy and my mom is all about Ford.. I guess thats where I'm in the middle.
Anyways, I drive a 1998 Pontiac Trans Am WS6, So far what I've done to her is a Cam swap, Exhaust, Intake, TB, MAF, Nitrous, Stall converter, Suspension.
Currently sitting in my room waiting for install is a set of REV .650 lift dual valve springs, 236/242 .580/.590 Cam, 1.75RR, and some Sweet Thunder mufflers.
She currently only put 380HP to the wheels, and 438TQ to the wheels, without nitrous and that is on a speed density tune... The tune was supposed to be a drivability tune, and apparently the person who tuned it does not know any other way of tuning.. I am going to get her retuned, and that way she can be running happy and more powerful.
Pretty much I'm here because I'm a "closet Ford fan".

Thank you, Actually I may be getting my moms V6 Mustang, which I would trade in for an 03 GT or Cobra, I just have to find a job first .
What can I say? I'm a big car enthusiast. Cars have been a part of my life since I was a little over 3 years old. Its in my blood

Welcome, and nice T/A. What exactly is wrong with the driveability that makes you unhappy with the tune? What kind of cam? From the mods listed those numbers are correct, there's not much more you can pull out of it. I would recommend getting a LS6 intake that came out of the 01 and 02 F-bodies. You can net yourself quite a few extra horses with that.

Lol. Its a GM hot cam, what I DO NOT like about the tune is the guy tuned it to run without a maf and 02s. and all my car does is gurgle while you drive; its very sluggish.
The cam going on is a custom comp cam, the one currently in the vehicle is a GM hot cam.
It should have had more horses with the nitrous; I sprayed a 125 shot and gained probably 45 horse....
