Mine is my daily too and I can't give the car up for the few weeks it will take.

I park mine all winter but dam mass is kinda far

Very cool stuff. I still have a few upgrades to get done before I'd be ready for this plus adding that much power & torque would require more mods. But I will be watching.

Spread the word, the only thing delaying final release of the system is a LFX & a LLT donor and we can be showing all dyno, 1/4 mile, videos, etc. of the biggest development to hit the V6 FI community folks:

You guy are awesome!!! :thumbs: I hope you get a V6 to test on!! I want in on this!!

Anyone ever heard of the 2010 or 2011 V6s having Torque Converter issues? I know there is a TSB out of the 2012 models which exhibit similar symptoms that mine has done a few times now. Just wondering if maybe its something worth looking into.

[hworth18]

What is the TSB?

[KMPrenger]

There is a link to it here

[lscamaro]

I haven't heard of any issues but I guess it's certainly plausible.

Can't say I have heard of it being an issue in the 10-11 like the 12s but did they change transmissions along with the LFX in 12? It's certainly plausible that it can go wrong though

Edit: I do have to ask. Have you looked at your spark plugs? On my dads HHR we felt something very similar to this and it would only do it while at idle And only in reverse or drive. When we pulled the plugs the porcelain was cracked and looked liked it was causing the pressure to escape. So it was causing a shuddering and jerking. But on his HHR is was much more of an intense jerk than what you Describe. It may not hurt to give it a try if the Torq converter doesn't go anywhere

I believe they may have changed the converter, but no the transmission.

Nope I have not looked at my plugs yet, but it is on my list of things to do. Car only has 12,500 miles on it though.

I'll continue to keep an eye on it.

I'm sure you guys seen this on the homepage of the new V6 RS??

http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=291649

I'm going to post here what I posted there:

That V6 is LOW. why is that? Its lower than my V6 for SURE and I'm pretty sure lower than the current SS is as well. So why is that? Is that car wearing some kind of new sport V6 suspension or are all Camaros going to be lower now?

EDIT: OK, so there are 4 passengers in the car from what I can tell...guessing thats why it is squatting so much.

My thoughts:

1) If they are all going to be lower...that is great!
2) SO HAPPY that the new V6 front fascia has a lower lip like the current SS has. Its something I've wished my V6 front end had since day one, but I never wanted the mailslot
3) The rest of it still does not impress me or grow on me at all as I've said before. It looks too wide eyed in the front, fog lights are tiny, and the rear....well its the worst part.
4) The NPP exhaust looks great.

Still can't bring myself to like the "squinting" headlights or those butt ugly taillights

I may pull the plenum off and take a look, but I shouldn't be seeing much if the catch can is doing its job.

Completely agree. The side profile (imo) looks awesome, but that's about it..
