Default tts powerloader 2

I installed mine a couple of weeks ago, and now I have this strange "chirping" coming from the rear of the car!? It must be the tires spinning when I kick it... :D :smash:

Oh yeah, best 1/4 mile time before-13.99@102. After with other mods in sig-13.14@107mph. This with a 2.73 and stock torque converter. It changes shift points also. :D :D

Mark, sounds like a good plan. How many runs do you feel you need to run to establish a baseline, then do the install? I'm really looking forward to the results! Keep smilin' :D

It sounds like you have a similiar mod set up as I do.

I ordered the Powerloader last Friday from exit 28 and spoke to Steve Cole yesterday.
He assures me that the new PLII with "wipeout" the Superchips program and make
everything run "right".:D:D

Good Luck with the PLII. Let us know how it works from a stop.

since I ran in BG....I'm just hoping to see if I can beat 13.4 or is my car consistent at the time now....wann practice my launches too...but that's another post :D

I'm hoping to make some runs at the track to see where the car is at.....intall the PLII at the track....drive around a bit....then make some more runs. I'm also signed up for the Vette-Viper Shootout in 1 1/2 weeks so if the install at the track doe not go well, I'll be able to run post-load then :cheers:

I have been looking at this mod for sometime and here great things about it. I do have a question.
Is this basically a Steve mod? What about help if he decides to drop support?

Thanks!

I got mine today, loaded at 5:30 PM. The first test drive, yes improved shifting on the A4, but no increased torque or WOT. $450.00 bucks for the trany only, I'm not happy. :sad:

Steve gives money-back guarantee for 30 days as I understand & will put the PCM back to stock (I just don't know how.)
