Spec stage 2+ it was hard to get into gear. he has no issues now on the stock clutch rod now.

 

We will have to see the complete setup first

 

I got a dirty look from a guy in a brand new camaro this morning. Not sure what he had done to it, but definitely at least a cat-back since it was loud and sounded freakin' awesome. Of course, I got the dirty look because when he tried to take off from the light to get around me (which I could tell he wanted to do) I hit it and even though he got the jump, I quickly reeled him and and by 60 he was at my back bumper...heh. So I went to turn off and I rolled down my window to give him a thumbs up but all I got was a dirty look in return.

 

I have a Spec Stage 3+ and I sometimes have trouble getting it into gear but the stock clutch did that too.

My issue I am having is where the clutch starts to grab, its about half way up the pedal. Then sometimes it will engage really low, maybe within the first 10%... Mine shutters like a puck clutch too but its a full face.

 

Oh yah... It should be within 10 HP of you...

 

Hahaha gotta love it when you woop someones ass when you're not even trying. The new camaros are bought up by all the old guys with money who think they just bought a race car since it has a v8 in it. then you waste them in your cobalt and they feel like **** on the inside lol.

 

what plugs should i run? i have NGK 1 step colder right now will those be fine or should i go step 2?

 

I went 2 steps but I'm a 2.2 so I dunno

 

One step is fine. I have heard of some running stock heat range... I run 1 step along with a couple others.

 

I'm 2 steps as well

 

My car eats spark plugs for breakfast. Crunchy breakfast.

 

LOL I remember that...

 

I run the copper ones from Intense with my 2.8

 

I got the gayest letter-number combo for my new plate. Gaaaaah im so upset i cant keep my old plate. Vanity plate on order lol

 

question about exhaust. would it be worth the performance for a cat delete on stock exhaust and keep the resonator? would it sound bad?

im getting the 2.25 bend over the rear axel replaced to a 2.5 fyi

please give opinions

 

It will improve HP gains yes. Might sound like **** though since it will be super loud

 

When you pull the cat out it will create rasp... If you really want to do it try adding a longer resonator if there is room or another resonator... Other than a muffler the resonator will help greatly with sound dampening and rasp control...

If you are worried about the sound, just keep the cat. I am willing to bet you wont lose all but a couple HP from that restriction.. If you ever plan to dyno I have numbers of a non-catted LSJ that has about the same mods as you..

 

I have a GMPP exhaust for sale BTW.

Your up early.

 

Got to work at 5am... Got deadlines... and this way I get to go home at 1 haha I am going to try to tune my car today. I got some stuff I want to try with my injectors, try to get mine to idle like yours...

 

You mean 12 percent rich at idle

 

Better than 12% lean... I thought I fixed that? Or is that what I didnt get to after your exhaust....

And I mean no rpm surge like yours... I love your idle. If I didnt change my idle airflow with the TB control mine would be bouncingfrom 900 to 1200...

 

I was looking through some files at work and found this...
