Default New GXP Dude

I've read these forums for a couple months and I figured I would sign up. I used to read grandprizforums.net but they only hate on us as WhiteGXP313 said. I'd like to say hi and if there is anyone with a GXP around the philadelphia area that likes to bs and just ride, hit me up!

Welcome!!!

I am over at grandprixforums as well, isn't it strange that they rag on GXP's....

They think their 3800's are awesome and a V-8 FWD car is dumb...





Once again Welcome....

I dunno how to quote someone but SSCoop I live pretty close to you! I hang out in Philly mostly though. Thanks everyone for a hate-less welcome. I already have a question though. I have the diablo tuner but I got an hp tune done on a dyno. Which should I be using?

well, if you got a true custom tune done on a dyno, and also a "street tune" as part of it, for normal part-throttle driving as well, then you should use that one...

all depends on how good the tune is though...

who did it?

Tune-time Performance in north jersey. He told me the dyno he used isnt the most popular one but told me the conversions. I can see a bunch of stuff on the computer with my tuner but I dont wanna screw anything up. I first need to know what my car should feel/run like stock, then go from there. Sometimes my car feels like a beast, other times it wont even downshift. I once had a dtc for a stuck throttle. I cleaned it and nothing changed. I guess I just need to learn moar!
