Loss of power after Stage Upgrade
HOLY F*IN SH*T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! damn this car has power now. its 40 degrees out and i just picked it up. on the way home i managed to spike 25-26psI on several occasions! but everyones right when they say no traction in first or second. first at half throttle there is no grip in second at half there is some but not much.
and to *rosieandelton* they will put it in for you if you'd like. I spoke to the tech today about what was wrong and he said it was just the wiring. he went home last night and researched it himself till he found what he was lookiing for. and today i am 1 happy motorist! if you would like to call them the number is (732) 907-1564 and just ask for service dept. My name is Joe Urban, just in case you need to reference me
but good luck, you'll absolutely love it!
gtg out driving! enjoy the night people!

Let us know if you continue to have 25 psi boost. That is 3-4 more psi than
other stage 2 cars are seeing. They do run crazy fast at 25 psi.
Did u do the waste gate mod before the install??

There is a new Technical Service Bulletin on issues after the install. See it at:

Is that sort of like, Doctor if I move my arm around to this position it hurts, to which the doctor says, well then don't do that?
tune. Also have HPT so I can change at will after Lyndon retunes the GM tune.
The boost hits alot slower on the GM tune. The Westers hits with a rush.
The GM tune hits softer on a purpose tohelp protect parts. Thus the low rpm
on aftermarket is stronger but both are strong above 3500 on up.
BUT and it is a BIG BUT, the GM tune does not cause the clutch to slip in
4th or 5th gear. The boost is less than race tune but when the aftermarket
was lowered to similar boost as GM, the clutch still slipped- again I feel due to
how hard the boost hits. I believe the aftermarket can be modded to have best of both worlds. Before with race tune, I just stayed away from WOT
at the 3200 rpm range unless I downshifted.
