i know some GXP guys down there use cordes performance. not sure if they play with the 3800 much. i would consider it but ill be moving back to nebraska in a few weeks. im clear up by flagstaff anyway.

If you can get in touch with him, I'd recommend Thomas. He was on boards as PDXGTP
12-28-2015
Damn, too bad I didnt have time to come meet you. Maybe you can give me some advise then.
12-28-2015
Ill see if i can PM him. Thanks.

I did a search on here and there is no PDXGTP listed.Originally Posted by BillBoost37

what all is done to the car? what are you looking to have done?
12-28-2015
ok cool. Short list of what ive done,
1.9 ratio RR and 90lbs springs.
NGK TR6 plugs and 180 zzp stat.
Speed dady headers, 3" down pipe, U bend delete, 3" back to duel 2.5's.
3.4 pully.
ZZP stage 1 pcm. still have stock pcm too.
Just had a stage 2 TEP trans built and should be getting it back today.
also purchased an intercooler and it is being shiped as we speak.

My real concern is weather or not I should continue to use the ZZP pcm or to put the oem one back in with the new trans build. Ive been through a few transmissions and am wondering if the modded pcm could be causing an issue. Too high of pressures breaking forward bands? I was told it is set to shift at 6100rpm.
maybe i need a custom tune done locally.
12-28-2015
do you have a way to scan it? i would imagine that it is ready for some more fuel. you need to get a wideband
12-28-2015
you will always be better off with a custom tune then a mail order. if you are tearing up transmissions either you drive like an asshole or something is wrong with the tune. going back to a stock PCM probably isnt the answer.
12-28-2015
My neighbor has a good scanner that i can use whenever. What would you suggest for a good wideband?
12-28-2015
probably an AFX or the NGK unit. i personally have an LM-1 but if you dont plan to move it between vehicles i would get one that is permanent.
12-28-2015
Any thoughts about the pcm issue?
12-28-2015
at very lease scan it (im talking about real time scanning, not just pulling codes) and look for KR and what your narrow band O2's are at right now. i wouldnt worry about much else. that will at least tell you if your setup is safe. tuned is another issue. i would call some dyno shops and ask them if they have any experience using HPtuners and ask if they have ever tuned a 3800.
if you are getting KR stop beating it until you get it tuned.

Will do. Thanks for the advise.
