    My 2001 gtp has been sending me for a loop! I changed the crank shaft and cam shaft sensors. That took care of my stalling and loss of tach and TCS. Now I have a horrible lag when i give more than half throttle. It shows full boost but it laggs something fierce>>>>>please help. Its a 2001 gtp 3800 series II s/c mostly stock.
