What was that noise? It sounded like you spun, upshifted and downshifted...(the transmission)

he was loosing traction and probly like mine the revs will jump quickly so the computer sometimes quickly shifts to 2nd etc. it sucks. i dont think it slipped just his had no traciton during the shift and at the shift he regained traction

i'm not really sure why my trans does that. it will usually bounce off the rev limiter a couple times before shifting. kind of annoying

that was quick. your car sounds great but a stock GTO has no chance against you.

thats correct. no tune. i lost second gear shortly after that, then the entire trans went.

the exhaust was Pacesetter ceramic coated LT's with a 3 inch ORY and a 3.5 inch dump on the passenger side before the axle. hollowed out glass pack
