Default 2001 Vettes with Powerloaders

It seems the 2001 A4s don't seem to be getting the same good results as the older A4s with the Powerloader or am I missing something.

98 Purple Metalic A4
Powerloaded
Donaldson Blackwing
172 Tstat
3.15 Performance Axle

Probably because of the significant changes made by GM in the 'stock' programming for 2001. The Powerloader provides some improvement, but not as significant, because of the changes already made by GM. However, because of timing changes in the 2001, the Powerloader can pick up some real HP.

I have an '01, and I'm actually having some problems but from my conversation with Steve that is because of my 3000 stall converter. I heave heard of other '01s having issues though.
