Hello Will, Id like to see if I could get together with you this Spring sometime for a Tune. Perhaps we can schedule something closer to April.

Thanks will.

Honestly the best thing for your tranny Imo is the shift kit and a good tune... Makes it drive like a different car

This is good to know, thank you. I do not really know too much about them and how they function but I have read about the benefits of them.

I think I will consider both this spring especially if I do get some Headers. I really think the DOD should be tuned out for the sound alone. Heard its terrible sound with a Cat back and headers especially.

I got mine tuned soon after I got it and I couldn't imagine going back. Yes DOD sounds terrible as soon as yousstart doing exhaust mods.. I could only imagine what mine would sound like being catless now haha not to mention DOD doesn't really function that well anyway... Pretty pointless imo

The ATP trans filter kits is highly decent for a good filter and rubber replacement gasket.

Buy a fluid transfer hand pump, suck as much of the old fluid out of the dipstick tube as you can before dropping the pan, makes things easier
Awesome, and I 2nd I will need to get with you for a tune ! lol, I'm in Missouri, but I'll make the drive for a quality tune. And I'll have to remember the hand pump, I'll be getting a job at autozone soon so i'll have a discount !

I hear what your saying. I would have to add that if you do alot of Highway driving it does help some but it is annoying now and over time probably is not good for your engine. Fuel consumption, yes.

Thanks again

I don't really get that much worse mileage with mine tuned out not to mention the drivable of the car is much better.... And now I don't run the high risk of burning oil like it's gas. Haha
