Report back after your first drive. Make sure you launch the car as well.

I don't know if you'll ever get rid of all the hop. Maybe stickier tires, wider tires, and playing with tire pressure. Stiffer springs and struts or coilovers. I guess it depends how much you're willing to throw at it and how much stiffness you want to tolerate in a daily car.

Sound is insane, I never would have expected that. I do have a little rattle some where sitting in Drive at idle. Currently the psi is about 38. I'll drop and see what happens. It just seems like I would loose alot of time from this wheel hop/stutter

Are you sure it is wheep hop or is it transmission shudder?

Have you done your 5 out 5 in trans fluid swap?

Get rid of that tune honestly. They are junk. Get with Gearhead, AJPTurbo, or Ortiz.

Did you overfill transmission by half a quart? That will be step 1 from them.

Checked probably 24 times in the process of doing it. Was at a good level, got it to operating temp and checked another dozen times. Pain in the ass with the windstorm intake

Step Two: Buy our Firestorm HPFP.

My trans is filled to stock fluid levels. I have zero issues, and I have a VERY spicy tune.

He said we can try a different tune. And check tranny fluid and he recommends over filling about a pint...I dont really like that idea
