    Haven't decided on a direction to correct this. The failed transmission also blew the motor, sigh.

    I'm out of the AF now

    Did the contractor thing in Iraq for a company called URS Corp on a sub-contract that was formally known as LSI working on Merlin IV aircraft...I was the AGE guy and a trainee to get my A license. Cool job but wasnt for me. I resigned after 10 months. Currently, full time student at a Tech school getting a Bachelors in electronic engineering.

    I wanted to do this but with everything that I need to change out it will break the bank because of the blown motor I have to factor in now.

    I got a 'story' of what happened. Either the transmission failed and the valve body kicked the car into second gear while it was decelerating from 7k rpms or something else happened...I wasnt there to witness what happened. The potential causes after the tuner did some research is the tune on the chip was bad and didnt lock 3rd gear, probable...The chip lost its connection with the ECU causing the ECU to reset while the car was still running (this has never happened in the 2 years its been in my car)...If the ECU resets because of this the transmission will change gears because of the valve body I have in my transmission.


    I am still having a difficult time wrapping my head around all of this but its what I have been told. The transmission has been in my car since 2006 and is a trouble free unit from Performance Automatic. I'm going to assume that something internally let go in the transmission and caused this to happen...

    Next, I may just have Darrin (BC Automotive rebuild the 4R70W) Circle D re-stall and put in a multi disk clutch and buy a FRPP Aluminator block for a 4 valve. The TFS heads will raise its 8.5:1 compression to 8.7ish but I wont make the same power as the other motor that was in the car. This is the cheapest route and parts alone will break the $5k range, FML. Will just sell my 2007 ZX6R to fund this.
