though, i suppose you can always wait and see and go lsd later.

I dropped the rear diff from a 2017 2.0 turbo manual trans in my RS. They are 3.23's instead of 2.77s, limited slip and the axles are way beefier then the v6 axles. It's a direct swap as well.

Do you know if the SC is CA smog legal?

Yes the Edelbrock 15995 is CARB legal. We have shipped several to California.

I'd be looking to avoid changing the gear ratio to not have lower cruising mpg and I assume Edelbrock locks their tune like everyone else so you would have to have them custom the one they give you.... If they allow that.

If you customize the tune, there goes your CARB certification.

cellsafemode · 11-26-2019, 08:54 AM

indeed. all the more reason to just use the SS auto rear rather than the lt manual if you want/need lsd.

SoulCyphyr71 · 11-26-2019, 03:37 PM

Nevermind, I just read your earlier post. Lol.

cellsafemode · 12-02-2019, 01:18 PM

i opted against getting it. 10% off wasn't enough to justify dropping 4500 to make the car faster.

Though, I might also be bitter for having to drop a bunch of money on a new HMI because the existing one stopped working correctly.

I also held off. Waiting to read Dgriff14's review of the SC. Instead purchased the 80mm throttle body and ported intake manifold from Overkill along with his tune during BF. I'll most likely hold off until spring and try to find a reputable installer.

Yeah sorry for being so quiet. But I installed the SC the weekend before last but my car hasn’t run since. I uploaded their tune and now my car displays code P16F3 and the gas pedal is non-responsive.

They didn’t work Thurs or Fri so my car hasn’t be able to drive since I uploaded the tune. But when I upload my factory tune the gas pedal works fine.

You are not the only person this has happened to. But the other was installing a ProCharger tune. Here's to hoping you get this rectified promptly. I'd have my hair pulled out by now.

His error code was P1400, saying it was a cold start issue.

SoulCyphyr71 · 12-02-2019, 08:16 PM

So not quite the same, but he did have a dead pedal as well.

dgriff14 · 12-02-2019, 08:26 PM

What the actual hell. And I’m running out of hair to pull out with each passing day. I’ve sent data logs, and the code seems to be an ECM issue. I just don’t know what to do since I’m not a Tuner and I’m basically at their mercy.

cellsafemode · 12-03-2019, 04:08 PM

did you program the TCM ? googling shows that's a TCM error code. Flashing the tcm should have followed flashing the ecu.

Unless you have a manual.
