Nice. I have taken a few spirited turns and all I have to say is that even with traction on this cars back end likes to kick out if accelerate in the middle of the turn.
Yea, I was accelerating through the whole turn and it didn't break loose so that was good. But I also wasn't mashing the pedal. Because if I turn and mash the pedal, the tires just light up and I get no traction at all

Because the amount of money you'd pay to get a very small increase won't be worth it.

Nice hope you get them in time so you can run with them at the track. You should tell chase if you dont get them quick enough he needs to help you install them at the track

I would have to agree not a big difference from the 3.27s that are already in there.

Yea i wasn't mashing the pedal just an acceleration while doing a right turn at about 30 and got a little tail happy.

@jvibe to really make it worthwhile you'd have to do at least a 3.73 but it'll set u back quite a chunk of change. You'll have to do the whole rear end swap.

Well i just spoke to LMR in houston and they said for 550$ they put your car on the dyno and tune it but they use trifecta software. This is for the 2010-11 v6 of course. They said they will do that till its dialed in and then 100$ for a retune if you get big performance parts like FI or nitrous, etc

Do you know if they personally have the trifecta software and they are doing the tuning or if they just feed logs to Vince until he dials it in? If they have the software and they do it, it might be worth it. But if they are just feeding logs to Vince, I could get that done for just the price of dyno time.

Hmm... Idk it to do this or just try the ipf tune later down the road. I will say that I took out all my trifecta stuff yesterday and boy does the car feel a hell of a lot faster. Plus some weird acceleration problems I was having are gone. Was going to go to the track but it got rained out

I know for a fact it is faster. Have tested it at the track before. I took everything out to see if it would fix the acceleration problems I was feeling and sure enough it did
