Default did long tubes, vararam intake, lower t stat, mail order tune, c5 drives terrible now

just did
long tubes
intake
lower t stat
sent out ecu for a simple tune

had borla straight pipes


now the engine runs great at all rpms,
but the car drives like crap,
shifts really slow, not firm, has no *****.

also the gauges are acting weird, oil pressure is pegged at max,
gas gauge is pegged at empty, (even after filling up)
and the speedo is off now, at 45mph it shows 50mph

I reset all the stored codes, and disconnected the battery, and got the gauges to function normal for a few runs, but now they are back to acting funky.

trying to think if I messed up a ground on the driver side header install, or messed up the ecu wiring when remove the ecu to send it out



one of the codes is P0753 HC, which is the trans solenoid

Need to check to make sure the PCM is plugged in correctly (no bent prongs) and if all is ok, contact the guy that tuned it.

Good news
Took the pcm out, checked it , was fine
Put the connectors back on carefully, tq down to spec
This time
Noticed the pcm is loose in the plastic black bracket , used some 3m tape to so it doesn't jiggle anymore
Went for a drive and zero problems
Runs like a raped ape
