It's not, I don't have it tuned, I was making a before video to go off of when i get a tune, headers, a blower/tb port and polish.

That thing must be knocking like crazy.

Why are you quick to say that? When I can beat other GTP's modded the same or even better can beat a 270 hp VW that weighs 1000 lbs less, and to say the least, I switched back to my stock pcm instead of the zzp as you claim blows motors and ever since my performance BLOWS. That video is with the stock pcm, believe it or not the zzp pcm gives a benefit to performance in a big way.

Of course it feels faster with a PCM with a bunch of timing thrown at it running lean. Lean cars run faster but blow up all the time. And whooptie do on beating a 270hp Veedub...they suck, they're slow. I'm quick to say that because I know, your car DIES after 5 grand, HARD. That means your knocking and the PCM is retarding your timing. Go get your car TUNED. And by tuned I mean by someone that knows how to tune and not ZZPerformance's canned bullcrap ones. But since you know it all throw your ZZP PCM back in it and rape the **** out of your car, I mean, since it is faster...faster is everything right?

whoo. damn nick. lol. yeah i dunno bro. i say good on ya for takin it out and possibly savin ur motor. im not sure if my car is any faster or not, but even i know i need a good tune. course i got a dhp pcm on mine, and all u got is the stock one.

Let me run down a few things here

1.) I NEVER said the ZZP pcm was a good pcm, I know it blows (insert pun). It does run faster and YOU are correct. I WILL NEVER RUN THE ZZP PCM AGAIN! Just for the record so you know.
2.)A Veedub R32 is not ahem slow, it's not fast, but quick. That's not even a good kill, just something to go by.
3.) And no, I don't know it all, but i'm so glad you are a God send and came to save us all..

All joking aside, I know my car isn't properly modded yet, I know, I know, I know, I have a pair of headers I am getting ready to install AS WE SPEAK. After that it's to Brian I go for the blower and tb p&p and tune. I'm getting things figured out, I hope I'm not coming across a douche, but that's the way you come across half of the time when you peak your head in and say KR KR KR KRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

KR is taken SO lightly around here it isn't even funny. I know you know, but if you knew then why would you be beating on your car. Take it from someone who has been through motor"S". And thanks, I thought I was pretty close to God. I mean, I know I make mistakes...but only He is perfect right? I'm not trying to beat it into your head or make you look stupid or whatever. I'm just telling you because I DO know about that...and I know what damage it can do. So, whether you like me or not, I don't care...I am trying to help...I do that by probably making it a bit harsh but I don't take stuff like that lightly. Would you rather have to put in a entire bottom end or a set of headers...or whatever? Does that make sense...I'm just trying to tell you from my point of view. Take it as you will...I try to help.

^This is what your engine looks like.


^This is what it could look like with a overnight pcm from zzp

I'm sorry for the rant, I understand. I guess I do not realize the horrors of KR as i should. As you said you have been through motors, i haven't. I need to realize that my motor could be toast in the blink of an eye. I appreciate your help, i just was a little pissed off when i wrote that post because my deal fell through on getting my headers installed tonight by my cousin. As far as the God speal, that was mean of me too. He is a perfect, righteous sovereign God.

Anyway, I'm glad for your help and I did get the headers, but like I said, my deal fell through. Now I have my car ripped apart in my driveway and it started raining..... On top of that I have the front manifold removed and X-over but I can't get the downpipe bolts to budge!!! Oh horrible wretched day...... Reptile HELP!!!!!

Well throw it back on and come out to my place. I'm sure we can figure something out. Or...where are you to be exact?

Alright here we go lol, lets see if my directions are decent for you.
Ok either take I-35 to lawson or take 69 hwy which ever you prefer. Turn on the road that has Goppert (formerly Lathrop) bank and the Golf course. Take a left at the stop sign onto Salem rd, follow all the bends and curves into lawson, then pass over the RR tracks, take an immediate right onto Silvey rd. Go maybe a half mile down, you will see a whole bunch of streets on the left that are like the Ghetto as i call it, keep going. Find a street called Powder Horn drive, there is a red VW on the corner, turn onto the street called Powder Horn. Maybe 100 ft down that road is a fork, take a left and ride that street a while and Viola! You'll see a big yellow house on down in a Cul de sac that has my Gold GTP on jackstands lol

Powder Horn ghetto? Maybe I'll stay on my side of I35 LMAO!!

No no no, powder horn is the nice side, trust me, it's almost like the country except with nice pavement! The streets beforehand I call the ghetto, they honestly aren't, i have a lot of friends that live there and i just make fun of them. And not to be stereotypical but Lawson literally has a black/minority population of like 3. lol

Well I'll be up around 6 am to work on it cause i have to be at work at wally world at 10. So if it doesn't get together i guess my girldfriend gets to take me! Stop by if ya want.

I'll see if I can get my buddy with his Rustang to head up there with me...for comic relief of course 6am is a bit early though, I'll see when I get off of work

Then after it's done I can toast him . Anyway, I get off a 6 tonight, I didn't get up at 6 am, i slept lol. But i can't for the life of me get the freaking downpipe to rear mani bolts to budge! Oh well I'm off to work.
