Topic: Need some advice on what to do

[Main One]

And on a serious note, I do hope I can convince her to let me do something.  Time will tell.....  And can anyone tell me if there is anything coming up around the end of October to the first week in November?  I have some leave and we are looking at doing something besides just setting at home.

I'm hosting a Haunted Tunnel Road Rally on the 24th of October in southern Indiana (Seymour, IN).  Would love to have you join us.  Maybe we could twist Bob's arm enough into coming and he could show off some of his mods, including his SC and NO2.  If not, you can look at, hear, experience mine.

Here's a link on the gtg.  I need to work on a signature banner.

Thanks again for the input.  I'm picking up the tuner for $335, doesn't seem like a bad price from what I have seen.  I have a buddy from highschool who took over the family business (new car dealership).  As I'm getting home to the wife and kiddos the 24th might be a bit soon to get out.  I'll let you know what I find out.

Thanks again

Good luck with the tuner.  As always, ask away if you have any questions.  I've used the Hypertech, and I imagine whatever you get, someone around here has some experience with it.

Thanks again for all of the input.  I am looking at the servos for the tranny.  I have read the posts on changing the servos, and it doesn't seem difficult.  I'll be picking up the Predator so I'll have to wait and see how it goes.  I am looking at (for now) turning off the traction control while I'm home.  Then when I'm done overseas I want to play with some custom tuning.

Time will tell.....

That is one very easy, and FREE, mod!

I'll bite, where is the free in that one?

I suspect you were talking about removing torque management, not disabling the traction control. It's easy to remove TM with the Diablosport programmer.

Yes I want to turn off Torque Management.  I can't stand it when I step on the fuel from a stop and nothing happens....and nothing...and nothi...wait there it is.

Look under tech articles.  On a Z66, getting traction control to default to off every time you start the truck is as easy as resetting your oil life indicator after an oil change.

Alternatively, with a custom tune, you can change traction control to pull 0 timing if you want to do it that way.   

[kklobe]

I'll have to go with pulling 0 timing.  I have had the wheels slip on rainy roads from a stop, but then (as you already know) abara-kadabra......nothing....

I'm not looking to smoke the tires.  I have a 72 Riviera with a 455-400 turbo  if I want to put some rubber on the road.  I just want to go when I step on the dang fuel!
