    It might be fun to see if you can get a high stall torque converter at a reasonable price to see how wild it will launch. I'd be interested in seeing that mod hit the streets


    Not sure about the stall converter but it would be fun for sure

    Well no sense in going after the installer for help! Nice job on doing up an automatic. Sorry to hear you're going to have to tear down and rebuilt.


    Lol, thank you. Transmission supplier said that it had less than 14k miles so we decided to go ahead and install it . We absolutely love the automatic and it will beat the 5 speed on hole shot easily. It's a lot of fun for sure .
    Will have it rebuilt and back together soon .

    Well we made the mistake of takings someone's word on the status of a transmission and it failed on us after 2000 miles . Time to pull it and have it rebuilt and reinstall.

    So I want to get this right. It would be possible for @MACAWS to install the Haltech system , have it tuned by @Dave@DDMWorks, and end up slaying the white beast owned @rabtech. Interesting. :evil:


    Well it appears that Rabtech is one of the elite that is sitting on top of the hill and we are sitting at the bottom looking up at him and just wondering what he is thinking as he is looking down at us . Well I think that as he is drinking a margarita and relaxing after a long hard road achieving his goal , he would welcome the rest of us that are ready to climb the hill .
    But if the hill has only one spot for king of the mountain , somebody is going to have to try to kick the white beast butt .
    Starting with a Haltech and ddmworks is a good way to achieve that goal .
    God speed and I think Rabtech can get feisty if backed in a corner ;)


    I got your back my friends .

    @oneshot
    Thanks for the hard work that has provided us with an alternative. You have come a long way in a year and now have provided the much need tuning to make even @rabtech happy. Your professional reply is exactly why you will be successful within our family, especially with the meticulously power crazy ones.
    Thank you for pushing the envelope.


    Thank you very much ! I'm thankful to be a member of this family and will always stay true !

    I would like to add to what bob has explained in detail on what issues you may or may not have with a reflashed stock ecu versus replacing it with a Haltech . I agree that most will not need anything other than what bob has worked really hard at achieving.
    Haltech is not for everyone and is expensive , no disagreement here .
    Now with that being said , Haltech is a recent product that has started from scratch a year ago to adapt to the slingshot which I had to start from nothing to now and yes not only countless hours and insane amount of money for R&D and as bob so kindly put it , a much needed funny button on achieving my own tune because I wanted to burn my slingshot to the ground .
    But look at where we started to where we are with Rabtech and Daves success. Rome was not built in a day and I stand behind the Haltech solution for the guys who want to turn that screw on the fly and use a product that is intended to adapt to your slingshot for race car performance applications.
    Yes the base tunes are intended to provide a minimum and simple tune to get you to your local tuner and that's the point , not intended to install and go race out of the box .
    My intent is not to take anything away from bob and his hard work or be offensive , my intent is to share with my fellow SS family what I have achieved and to offer a product that race car enthusiast would like to try .
