Just dropped off car

kenneth · January 2nd, 2008, 03:14 PM

went drop off the car by the tuners shop, getting the TCI 3000 stall converter installed in it.
Hopefully pick it up tomorrow afternoon.
then back to the shop in a couple weeks for a new tune.

psycho bob · January 2nd, 2008, 03:25 PM

should be a nice addition.

06VistaGT · January 2nd, 2008, 04:00 PM

yeah, should be sweet. Let us know how that turns out, really considering getting one.

kenneth · January 2nd, 2008, 04:10 PM

everyone I talked to inculding tuner said that it makes just as much difference if not more than a gear swap.

2mchtoy · January 5th, 2008, 01:02 PM

yeah, lets hear how it turns out in real world driving, not just strip.

kenneth · January 5th, 2008, 02:35 PM

well picked up the car yesterday, first off I had the TCI 3000 stall and had them change the transmission fluid to Royal purple ATF Max ,man talk about a HUGE difference. as far as daily driving it seems to be normal, but when you hit the Go pedal hold on.
I find below 25 I can break the tires loose at will.
better tires will be in the near future.
Also on the plus side I reset the MPG on the way going I was averaging 19.9MPG on the way back I got 21.7

06VistaGT · January 5th, 2008, 03:07 PM

Thats awesome. Thanks for the update. I will pick one up for sure as soon as I get a chance. What tires are you running right now?

06RedfireGT · January 5th, 2008, 03:09 PM

That sounds awesome.

Stock tires it came with BFG kdws 235/50/18's
not sure but i'm looking at bfg kdw 265/40/18

06VistaGT · January 5th, 2008, 04:11 PM

Thanks kenneth, I was looking into the Nitto NT555 for the front NT555R for the back or the BFG g-force t/a kdw all around.

kenneth · January 5th, 2008, 05:08 PM

I think I'll go with the BFG kdw 275/40 18's on the rear and the BFG kdw 255/40/18's on the front.
Not a real big fan of Nitto's

06VistaGT · January 5th, 2008, 05:14 PM

I was leaning more towards the BFG kdw, i heard Nittos suck real bad in the rain.

kenneth · January 5th, 2008, 05:18 PM

Yea that's what i been hearing also.

05mustang_TT_charged · January 5th, 2008, 05:20 PM

forensicsteve · January 5th, 2008, 05:21 PM

Hey Kenneth

Where did you get car tuned? After 5 weeks of rebuild, think I have only a couple more weeks to go. Maybe we coordinate an evening at No Problem.

05mustang_TT_charged · January 5th, 2008, 05:24 PM

2mchtoy · January 6th, 2008, 06:08 PM

That is awesome! If you don't mind, how much did it cost for them to do the swap? Thanks Tom
