I had alot of drivetrain work done with him and one of the things he told me face to face is that he would mess with the shifting points and such to make sure it ran perfectly. I know more then one can get into the computer, there was another shop in Houston I went to before SGP and they messed with the TCM, because SGP had to fix it.

Okay. Since I had my stockers on (215-55-17 RSAs), I thought I try a burnout again. I just stopped in the middle of the road near my house, VDC off and brake launched. Long burnout with ease. Good to know my car wasn't down on power. The 245-4-19 RE050s must have massive grip!

But it's the best launch I've done so far. This is with the VDC off. But the slip light still blinked when I chirped the tires. Odd

Is there any way you can be more specific?? What does your invoice say about the tranny mod? Any reference to any TCM work on it? If you are in good standing with them, can you contact them and inform us what they say? Thanks

Odd, I emailed TS and they weren't able to even access the TCM much less change any parameters in it. Can you explain what they did? And how your trann shifts now??

BTW, I want to get a SGP valvebody. Should I?

i don't have a G yet but I am surprised at the high 60ft times of these RWD cars.
I pulled a 2.1 60ft on street tires in my FWD SRT-4 and on slicks I pulled a 1.8xx
I am planning on getting a SEdan whenever my SRT-4 sells. It is a hard decision to get rid of.....385whp and over 400ft/lbs tq. But NO traction in 1 and 2 and sometimes the first part of 3rd on street tires.
I have a 300ZX but it is non turbo and not all that fast but I am a Nissan fanboy an look forward to the combo of speed/luxury of the G.
Good luck on getting a better launch....I'll be watching.

As for the 6MTs, they're just very hard to launch just like most any other RWD car with an independant suspension. Live axle F-Bodies and Stangs are much easier to launch. On slicks, a G35 6MT should have no problems pulling 1.8s and even 1.7s.
