Default need tranny/tqc help
whats up im allen im in the OKC area. and i need some help. I have a z28 2002 completely stock except a catback 3 inch magniflow with cut out. and a k & n and a set of 410 gears <- previous owners doing. and this thing is going crazy. its over reving. lagging at half throttle into the 2-3 shift and its just kinda sluggish. its progressively been getting worse. i know the tone is bad on this because some tool had a programmer in it and i cant get it flash back to stock so now its sounds like gravel at wide open because of some bad detination. so i wanted some suggestion if i can ask. i plan on a stall 3500 tci street. and pacesetter long tubes in the next few weeks. any suggestion to help fix some of these tranny issues and such?

thanks

Well you may very well have some tuning issues but from the sound of it I think you are loosing the 3-4 clutch
