Default Melo Yelo GTO is alive. 347 78mm 4l80e

she is finally up and running.. not well, but running none the less

tune needs work.. and trans needs to be dialed in also...
not sure the pcm4less harness is as plug and play as they say

no muffler right now... lots of rasp. felt good to just get her on the road.. hearing that spool over a nice V8 made it even better... throw in the BOV and I was happy!

What did you find that your problem was that caused the breaking up under load earlier. Nice to see your car up and running. Good luck.

youre not the only one.. im not giving up on the trans yet.. gunna play with the linkage, maybe its just not letting things fully get in gear... IDK wont take much to figure it out so we will see.

hopefully figure that out so I can do the sloppy mech. trans brake! and throw a two step on it... and get it down the track.
