Look what I found in an old radio I threw away today:
I can't WAIT to see what's on the mix tape. Chrysler has both a cd player and a tape deck, so I'll find out in the morning on my way to work. I'm stupid excited about this.
Steve and Johnny; if it's as awesome as I think it will be I'll loan it to you. I know you both kind of like this genre.

So I'm back in town with the T/A. I think I need a new tune.
Car runs like crap, bogs and backfires when its accelerating at low rpm under load... say your driving along, car upshifts or goes to OD and the RPM's drop to like idle or just above, and your giving it some gas still to keep the car speeding up, it will act rediculous. I felt a little roughness at that low RPM under load back when I got the tune, but it turned into the real annoyance it is now when I swapped the Corsa for the LM1. All other times, the car is going strong. That, and I got the Yank SS3600 stall in there now, and the TransGo shift kit. Also put on Strano springs, and LCA relocation brackets.
Didn't pick out a tranny cooler yet though. Any recommendations? Is it an easy install? I want to get it installed, car retuned, and gotta fix an exhaust leak I've incurred after bottoming out goin over a nasty bump on the highway at ~80mph slamming the exhaust on the ground, so I can take it to the track and see what it will do. Even with the leak and old tune, the new converter is making it break the tires like it never did before on the street on a dead stop launch. I'm thinking with everything done and sorted out, its going to be blast on the track.

LOL I have cats on the kooks y-pipe, so the Corsa was far too quite for what I like. The LM1, I think, sounds awesome. And personaly, I love hearing the car roar, so "drone" isn't an issue for me. I still have the Corsa, packaged it up in the SLP box with all it's paperwork / stickers and warranty card I never submitted. Need to sell it.
I'll go ahead and order that B&M kit. Pretty damn cheap, would have thought it be alot pricier for the full shebang than $65
Todd the bluethunder guy? How much does he charge?
My spark plugs and wires look alright. I do have a bad tick / knock problem though. My guess is lifter or maybe rocker, but I really don't have the experience to know.

Welcome back paul, and if you have the original wires they might be causing a tick no matter how good look they look, when I had a tick and picked up some MSD wires for cheap they turned out to cure it when I thought it was something else.
