I'm lost

Okay long story short, maybe. It's been two years since installing A&A supercharger and RPM V Tranny, it's never ran consistently good. It seems to bog down after a good spirit drive or a long one. I've had 4 tuners look at it, original installer says tune is fine,next two said it needed to be re-tuned,4th today says tune is fine and thinks it's the tranny. Well if that's the case, it sucks because RPM's warranty is only for 90 days. As stated been having issues since install, so what to do? There was a thread just recently on here about someone having same issues, can't seem to find it.Help please, sorry I lied about length

Can you explain a little more as to what is bogging? As in, does it seem like power just diminishes, just as off the line or when you start laying into it? Or is it more on shifts, such as a long delay or maybe the torque convertor is acting up/not correct for your setup?

Can't help you with the problem you are having, but hope you get it figured out soon. Has to be very annoying considering the mods you've done to the car.

Gas mileage really suffers during this bogging down time, didn't think about torque convertor. Some thing to pass along to the mechanic that has it now, I told him to keep it and dog it for a couple days and try to figure it out. Thanks, L8R ZFLASH

Have you checked the fluid level? It's a pain in the *** to check.

Here's the update guys,had it back now for a week. So far it's running real good, took it to Jayson at Delta V ( I think he use to be at MTI ) let him keep it for four days and do his magic. What he figured out is that with the after mkt tranny (RPM), that their is a sensor that needs to be removed. By doing this it freed up the every once in a while bogging, don't know what sensor, that's his little secret he said. The over all tune was good with just a little adjustment, so far I'm very satisfied. Thanks everyone for your feedback and suggestions. L8R ZFLASH
