11 Camaro IBM · 04-01-2012, 08:28 PM

Hey everyone I the potted throttle body, isolator, vararam, and flowmaster on my car and I can't realy chirp my tires I have trifecta on the way and BBK long tube headers with High Flow cats so I hope by then I can at least chirp I mean there's only like 1 more bolt on I haven't done after all those and that's the portted intake manifold

TJ91 · 04-01-2012, 08:33 PM

Really? Do you have pzeros? Those are hard to chirp when they're warm

11 Camaro IBM · 04-01-2012, 08:36 PM

Yeh there realy worm out though I might get another brand because I wanna chirp.

GretchenGotGrowl · 04-01-2012, 08:39 PM

That's weird. I had the 19" PZeros and stock I had issues with traction. With all your mods I would think a you would be losing traction in second. When you get the tune, make sure you send Vince a WOT log so he can figure out what's going on.

11 Camaro IBM · 04-01-2012, 08:41 PM

I only lose it when I turn and step on it in a straight line im having trouble sucks well I'll def do a log I normally do the runs in M mode should I be using Sport mode?

GretchenGotGrowl · 04-01-2012, 08:55 PM

From a dead stop, it should not matter if you are in D or S mode. It should spin them. One way to look at it is we all wish they wouldn't spin so we weren't wasting the energy not accelerating, but I think you have an issue. It has been hot and your tires are stickier, but still you should have some traction loss. Try it with traction control off and see what happens. If it still won't spin them then you may be running under reduced power. I would think the CEL would be on, but who knows. Vince should be able to detect issues like KR from the log.

11 Camaro IBM · 04-01-2012, 08:56 PM

thanks all my runs are with TC off and I just did one I lost traction this time

KMPrenger · 04-01-2012, 09:31 PM

Haven't tried it in hot weather, but I have tried some hard launches in 40 - 70 degree weather and with TC off my car will spin easy.

Not sure if I'm only getting one or both tires though. Auto is an open diff, but will spin both tires under equal traction apparently.

TJ91 · 04-01-2012, 10:38 PM

Hey 11. I know when my tires are realy warm. It barely chirps or doesn't chirp at all in second
When they're cold, I chirp/squak third
Definitly with some crappier tires, these things will spin and chirp like crazy. Not good performance wise but cool factor is definitly there!

11 Camaro IBM · 04-01-2012, 10:43 PM

Haha I think I might stick to preformace but, then again after I get all the bolt ons I can and e85 I'm sure I'll chirp something

TJ91 · 04-01-2012, 10:51 PM

E85? Dude third shouldn't be a problem for you. You'll need to make a thread saying problem tying to chirp fourth lol and then hopefully Jay will have something cooked up for us

I wish I can run E85. If I could find it here I would buy the tune ASAP!

11 Camaro IBM · 04-01-2012, 10:56 PM

Yeh man I have like 5 places around that do e85 it's gonna cost me a total of 1200 to get all bolts plus e85 (700 for BBk LT headers) (350 portted intake manifold) (100 e85 update).

lscamaro · 04-01-2012, 11:06 PM

Do you mean chirp as in when it switches gears?

Cyber Gray · 04-02-2012, 05:00 AM

You are putting more Rwhp and this requires suspension upgrades.

However, to be honest with you after driving this car for almost 3 years now I feel that this problem has a lot to do with your driving style and skill.

Camaro handles well comparing to other cars.
