more than likely because he does not have tuning software for the trucks......

I specifically bought a 02 pcm for a reason, The 99-00 pcm's show alot of false knock and the 02 & up pcm's have much better fuel tables. As of right now I have a 2000 Camaro or Trans Am vin #? I will definetly be calling Jesse in the morning.

I just went for another test drive and I brought my brother along. He stood on the side of the road as I drove by and he said that he could hear the Radix whining loud as I drove by, My boost gauge also read about 5 or 6 psi so I think the boost problem is fixed. Now I just need to figure out the KR and I will be set.

I replaced the header gaskets last night, I think that may have been it? I have been meaning to replace them for a long time but I just never got around to it. Check one problem off of my list. Later.

how exactly would a header gasket leak cause low boost? i can understand how that would affect boost on a turbo application, but not on a supercharged application?

a larger exhaust would cause less of boost...less restriction. A header gasket leak is the same thing in sense...I am not sure just how much boost you'd lose through just a header gasket leak. I couldn't imagine very much at all. My larger exhaust took about a 1# to 1.25# of boost back when I first did it. But that's a huge exhaust, not a gasket leak.

First of all I need to get those pictures for Holty, I will have them tomorrow. Sorry about that. I honestly dont know what fixed the boost problem, I am just glad it is fixed. It kind of bugs me because I wish I new what the problem was and what I did to fix it.
