    Bama Chips Race Tune

    AmericanMuscle suggests that you shouldn't because its so aggressive. I'm not sure other than it's kind of jerky when trying to drive slow. Maybe it kills mileage?

    Bama Chips Race Tune

    Both tunes shift real hard. It's awesome. The performance tune is more manageable for daily though. It's work trying to keep my tires from spinning.:D

    Bama Chips Race Tune

    I got the Bama race tune from AM and HOLY CRAP the best tune I've ever run. I haven't tried it on the track yet but I'm tempted to try running it daily. Anyone else running this tune?

    My new Motive 3.73s whine

    I took it in today, the vibration at 60 was my driveshaft, shop adjusted it to turn the other way, significantly reducing the buzz, so I'm happy with that. Unfortunately I agree. Shop suggested complaining to motive and trying to get them to send a new a gear and cover labor. I don't think...

    My new Motive 3.73s whine

    Assuming it is the backlash and not a noisy gear. am I doing harm driving on it now?

    My new Motive 3.73s whine

    Cool, I didn't think they made them anymore for the 7.5. I'm going to try and see how this pans out first before I consider getting rid of the motives. I called the shop, I'm bringing it in on Saturday. but they are sticking to their guns that its a noisy gear. At this point I just want to...

    My new Motive 3.73s whine

    Thanks, I'm going to try to get it in sometime next week. When you say you've messed with them, can you adjust it without having to take everything off? This could be a good opportunity to go for the pypes violaters :evil:

    My new Motive 3.73s whine

    It only does it when I lightly touch the gas, like when maintaining cruise speed it seems to stop when accelerating any harder. Also it I get a noticeable vibration when at 60-65mph any faster or slower no buzzing. they told me it would whine because of the way its cut. I think I'm going...

    My new Motive 3.73s whine

    I just got them professionally done yesterday, car runs great, but they whine on light throttle. I'm reading up now that a lot of motive gears are noisy. Can I expect the whine to fade after riding on them a bit or should I just get used to the sound?

    Overdrive Button

    I know the main thing is it cuts off the final gear, but I've also noticed that the other gears feel like they have a little bit more torque and stay at higher rpms longer. I think thats why the manual suggest it could be used for towing.

    Gear change= Tune change?

    I was concerned running it stock for a day would hurt it, so that's cool. Doesn't seem like theres much to worry about

    American Muscle 2005 V-6 project car w/ vids

    I was surprised at the number it put down stock, mine dynoed stock at 193rwhp (a generous number more like 180) but still 159:confused: maybe a different altitude?
