Yes, when you remove the ECM/PCM/computer, what ever you want to call it, you can not drive the car. It just simply will not run....

Removal is easy, undo the clamps and unplug the harnesses. Some will say to disconnect the battery, just in case. Might not be a bad idea.

can T/C be disabled in I gear? I only live about 20 minutes away from Toms river so I might just take my car down.

No we can't disengage any form of stabiliy or T/C device . But even with it on I still can lay 5-8 ft of rubber with my 2.4 LT2 auto. Come by the shop you won't be disappointed hands down one of the best mods for the money ever .

Well the early returns are in..................

WOW!!!

I'm very impressed by the increased power. By far the most improvement I've gotten from any of the mods I've done. I really can't explain all that was done and how.

This is what I can tell you. From a dead stop, more power. While driving, mush improved acceleration to pass (or just to fly, a little on that later!) Don't know about mpg yet but I filled the tank this morning and will update after a couple tanks.

Now for the real fun stuff. NO hesitation at 110 in D. No need for I drive any more. Goes from 60 to 100 very quickly. One thing that blew me away was that at 115 the rpms were about 6200 but the it shifted and it dropped to 5500!! At that point Bonnie said it was enough. It felt like it still had a ways to go as far as top speed.

My first impression is that this was worth every penny!! Maybe Matt will see this and explain all he did.
