Nope, I'm starting to think it's some bad gas.... after further investigation it's limited to wot

and doesn't start till about 4K....

obviously I could be leaned out but I'm gonna hope for the best put a full tank of good gas in and see whats up.

If by tuesday it's not gone, I've got an appt with EFI to have them take a look.

You may want to put a few gals of 100 octane gas to kinda level things up.....there is a sunoco gas station on beach blvd and southside that sells that stuff.

Dayem! What does that run per gallon?

*GTAHVIT* · 08-21-2010, 05:40 PM

I probably won't get over to efi till about 6 PM...

But the gas doesn't seem to have worked..... I ran mine just about empty and put about two gallons of 93 from a normally good station. I'm about empty again and gonna fill up with gas from another reliable station but she's still doing it.... I need to get under the hood an be sure it's not an exhaust leak.....

Again, hoping for a simple solution

I just can't believe that something really bad is going on.. I'm not getting any timing retard or surging or anything....

So, I'm gonna stay positive.

Hey guys. My wife and I moved to Jacksonville a few months ago and I'm looking for some exhaust advice on my Camaro. I've been in Iraq since we moved in so the only thing I have to go by is crappy videos on the internet. I'll be back home in a few weeks and would really like to hear some aftermarket systems in person before I make a decision. My big concern is the noise that L99 owners are complaining about when the AFM goes from 8 to 4 cylinders. Do any of you have the same engine with aftermarket exhaust?

Not looking for something that will make my neighbors think they're at a monster truck ralley. A boost in performance would be nice but its not as important to me as the sound. So far my favorite (from videos) is the Magnaflow 2.5" Competition Series.

SURPRYZ · 08-22-2010, 07:45 PM

Magnaflows sound good for any generation. I have a true dual 3" exhaust with Magnaflow mufflers. Sounds great. IMHO

steeleshark2 · 08-22-2010, 08:11 PM

You will need to get a tune (handheld or dyno) to turn off afm. I hear that afm sounds like crap (of course only when activated) no matter what aftermarket exhaust you get.

p3pilot71 · 08-22-2010, 08:32 PM

Yeah, the AFM issue might be a deal breaker for me on the exhaust. I'm not willing to void my warranty just to get a better sound.
