Its all working...FINALLY
#1
Well I got my truck back from the trans shop yesterday and while it was there I changed out the wastegate to a new one sent by STS, and also changed the PCM to a new one programmed by Allen at Nelson performance.
The shop worked with Allen on the programming requirements so it seems to shift allot better than the first PCM I got. I am now on my 4th PCM and counting. The truck so far works pretty well, I'll be testing it ouit for the next couple of days and give a report. The turbo is no longer overboosting by 5psi, and the trans feels strong and tight. I have been reasured by my trans guy that I should have no future problems even if I go up to 7psi or so.
The thing chips the tires at part throttle and burns the peg legger at 30 mph after downshifting!! I can't wait for the posi to get this thing hooking up now.
Hopefully all my major problems are in the past. Oh ya I got an 18 month or 18,000 mile warranty which ever comes first.

This is what I have now.
Z-Pack 3-4 clutch, wide 2-4 band, High performance servo and valve body kit and torque converter mods per engine package(STS Turbo).
I also know they split the converter and tack welded all the fins.

I built my OE just like how yours is now, along with beast sunshell,29el sprag.superior shift kit,worked perfect with the vette servo.I then went against what I have always preached,dont run billet servos with much pressure seems it was almost a year and hard use.One day 1/2 throttle 1-2 shift BANG i know exactly what it did.Thats what happends when you dont practice what you preach.I slapped in a new 4mi take out 03 Denali 4l65e,had my converter cut opened and cleaned vette servo and recently did a HD transgo.the 1-2 is a touch to hard at mid throttle,I need to change my PCM pressures.
