Yes- someone with an actual pcm tuner (DHP PT or HPT) can turn down, or can completely eliminate most TQ abuse settings. You have to be careful though-with everything turned completely off, you have potential to do a good bit of damage.

 

A knowledgeable tuner will answers all of those questions that you have, and know exactly what to do if you ask.

 

hmm alright, so no one here can do monstrous burn outs with out the stupid *** computer jumpin and stealing all the fun?

 

I'm sure bumpin' can do some sick burn-outs

 

With an OEM factory pcm tune- no. Like I said, get a real tuner- you can turn on/off what settings you want, then you can do all the burnouts you want. As far as GM goes- it seems like the newer the car, the more protection it has.

IMO its really not a bad idea- these cars are not made or marketed to be used in any kind of racing- they're made to be basic transportation/daily drivers. So by putting protection on everything- they end up with less warranty work, and fewer breakages/more reliable cars, so they end up getting better reliability ratings and more money in the end.


Honestly, thats getting to be one thing I am hating about the monte. Even with the 245 bfg kdw2's- the thing is pretty much impossible to launch-even from a low speed roll. I am working on a solution though

 

TELL US!!!!

dont' be a tease......

-Riggs.

 

that's disappointing haha

 

if it has to deal with a small rocket engine, a can of mayonnaise, and a size 14mm socket.... im 2 steps ahead of you.

But seriously... short of stripping the car a crap ton or adding a boost, what could you do?

 

your solution is to send me your mods :p

 

I'll post up more details once work gets underway- we're currently still in the process of house-hunting, so the monte is in storage (its too cold to even think about driving anyways). Once I get the monte into a garage of my own, and I get cracking on the project- I'll post some pics and info.

Right now, I'm just collecting parts for it.
