Bottom end power

**GTPSHAWTY** · 01-09-2014

Lets see.. I'm having an issue.. I have a l32 swap into an 03 monte ss.. Mids: headers 3.4 pulley 180tstat tuned by intense 42lbs injectors... 1.8 rockers no cat..... The take off is slow as piss water but top end is strong.... It won't crack a tire....which is weird stock gtps can burn 18s...soo.. Ideas?

get a scan, look for things that are wrong.

Got aeroforce.. Don't know what to look for

are you running the monte trans? Maybe torque managament taking over.

**tms8582** · 01-09-2014

Possible sc belt slip? Did you get a smaller belt? Did you get a mail in tune from Intense or a dyno tune?

**GTPSHAWTY** · 01-09-2014

Custom mail by intense and 04 trans as well and yes smaller belt on car too

see what your timing is like when you take off.

^ Check your timing at launch, and also see if it accelerates better if you roll into the throttle, or just mash it.

if you have sorta good tires i would expect this.. headers kill tons of power under the curve and you really are not doing much in terms of mods outside of a 3.4 pulley, which isnt much.

**GTPSHAWTY** · 01-09-2014

I do know timing is stock in pcm and should I put the 3.3 on

**GTPSHAWTY** · 01-09-2014

The car runs better when I ease into it the floor vs just flooring.... and should I put .3 on

**machinegunsquid** · 01-09-2014

Are you seeing any knock with the 3.4??

headers do move the powerband up some, but you should still be putting enough torque down to spin the tires a bit.

No k.r with.4 on and I can get some chirping while turning but as far as gunning nothing.... even building up around 2500 rpm it seems to boggsit feels like something holding car back until it finally reace 3k then clears up and hauls ass... only in 1st gear

New filter and fluid along with lucas in trans............ tb cleaned and working new plugs wires air and fuel filters and air filters..... also when in park/nutural it revs clean when engine under load it seems to be held back

See what your timing is when it's doing it

**GTPSHAWTY** · 01-10-2014

Whats timing labled as on aeroforce

**GTPSHAWTY** · 01-10-2014

Ignition advance?

**nos4blood70** · 01-10-2014

Yup!

**GTPSHAWTY** · 01-10-2014

Idle is 22.5 wot is 11

**Bio248** · 01-10-2014

that's disgustingly low. you're getting KR or your tune is whack.
