I got the car back today from the tranny shop. Car shift wonderfully, very confident.
Here'* my problem, when I first got the car she was pretty peppy bone stock. After I had to replace the */C, she lost a lotta oommph. I know this a poor example, but I can't even light the god damn tires up from a stand still, or turning left or right! You'd think after a pulley, intake, exhaust and now a new tranny with a "shift kit" I'd be able to do that! Gravenge is just a dog for some reason...
I'm so tired of pooring money into this car and getting just more problems in return...

wow...even my LN3 chirps the tires...have you done a compression check? It is true, miles do that! I'll bet if you rehoned the cylinders, restoring that nice crosshatch pattern and replacing the piston rings you would see a MUCH bigger increase in power. And maybe just a tad of compression loss through the head gasket...? I know you know all this, but, you know...just my 2 cents.

Sounds like the tranny shop forgot to put back on a vacuum line and it is dumping boost altogether. Check them out.
