Guess I will be heading down to Tick Performance tomorrow to get my PCM redone since according to Frost and Tick it will not crank in its current state since I have the 42lb injectors. I am out in the garage today for some wiring and maybe we can spin it over soon. Glad to hear your starter issue is fixed and thanks for that information on the grounds.

Tick Performance said the tune they put on my PCM will allow it to run but it still will need a dyno tune after the engine is broke in. I will run the engine thorugh its paces and make sure there are no leaks and what nots before I go down there with my car. The good thing is they knock off the price of the start up tune off of the dyno tune. So I will only be out an additional $300 to get it properly tuned. I dont like the fact they need to keep my car two days to get it right. They want to tune it on the dyno and then run it through several cycles on the street tomake sure it will start cold, hot and everywhere in between. I guess thats a good thing but I really dont like the idea of them having my car to play around in. Another thing is the Mooresville drag strip is like a mile away down a service road just below their shop. I am sure they are reliable its just I have $36,000 in my car and the thoughts of someone else driving her kills me.

Well one of my small leaks was trans fluid leaking from the speedometer cable threads on the tail housing of my 4l60e! I bought the spedometer adapter tail housing from street and performance,well I called mark to tell him It was leaking and to get advice,he said only reason ir would leak there is because the trans was over filled!!I guess I can't trust fluid level on those lokar trans dipstick Im using!!!
