Mine idled pretty choppy and strong on the first start up. It sounded awesome. Two different tunes later it's finally doing well. I miss driving my car. Wish I could get up and running again.

I like the way mine drives... and I love the way it sounds... Hopefully this coming week I should go get a Basic tune... I am waiting on some PaceSetter LT's and a friends 3" ORY. Only thing that sucks is the weather that don't wanna let me cruise it.

Once its tuned you'll love it pretty bad *** sounding lil cam

Do you all think I should just get the basic tune or custom? I spoke to super steve from Monster Motosports and he says that a basic would be good... And from evryone that has gotten a tune everyone tells me that they know there stuff. Basic $120 Custom $340???

ck. my sig out, car weighs 3750 and seems to like the sauce. you will be in need of bigger than stock injectors. that's a two face cam, great driveability, durability and awsome sound on the street, and with the magic sauce it will get you kicked out of some tracks if you don't have a roll cage!

Ok now I am having problem with the car after the tune... now every now and then it turns off and when I try to gun it from like 20-50 in overdrive it doesn't shift down. And yesterday I was racing it stayed in third and never shifted to fourth... It kinda feels like it is hesistant and boggs out... dunno if it is just a lack of fuel or something?
