Question for guys who actually have the the Roush Kit

[Jmtoast]

Got a update that the revised calibration is expected to be released mid September and will address the 123 issue, quirky transmission shifting issues, random P008A codes and just better overall drivability.

Now we wait.....

Thank you for the update Hoss..

Well. Dropped off the green machine today for the phase 2 install. Pretty excited. Hoping it’s done on Friday otherwise I will have to drive the rental they gave me till next Tuesday since Monday is a holiday.

They rented me a car from enterprise. Got an anemic but nice looking 4 cylinder mustang convertible in blue wonder if the strip is open this weekend

You get to join the 11.5 @123mph club. Exclusive club.

Don’t worry. I will let you know what the car does the day I get it back 30 miles from Mexico to home so it shouldn’t be too hard

Thanks for the update. I hope they don't screw up the improvements they made in the last revision.

I did some roll racing this weekend, and I never really do. I don't go out looking for it, but both times I got 'nudged" by the other drivers to go. So, I obliged.
Easy peasy wins. lol

What did you roll race?

No way... Roll racing isn't racing

We're back in the 110s this weekend so you better drop that top!!!!

Then bring the green beast home from Mex and let her rip! And report back of course.

This modded Saturn suv believe it or not. It had a turbo on it. I heard it as I passed by the first time. It was all done up on the exterior as well. Wheels/tires, headlights, grill. Not my cup of tea though. lol
Then, the following day, a '57 Rat Rod. It definitely was not stock. It had the dual exhaust pipes straight out back and was a manual car. There was an older guy driving it. I wasn't looking for this one, but he kept up with me as I slowly went by, so we both gunned it. GONE! lol
(I know both those vehicles didn't have a chance, but I never really got on my car like I did this past weekend. Car is impressive for a Phase 1 car. I can only imagine the Phase 2 package.)

My girls son is trading his classic camaro with a guy for his rat rod replica. Those are bad ass.

HEY!!! KNOCK IT OFF! Why do you have to ruin it!?!?!? Isn't 100 hot enough!

Not sure how I could ever drive it with the top down in this heat! I shall try though.

I have to admit, I am glad my new ride has Recaro's.. They are infinitely more comfortable than the leather seats of the Premium Package. They may have cooling and heating but I don't care. Give me a heated steering wheel in winter and I'm happy!

PS.... Maybe I'm jaded but 300hp is not enough for this car. Bring on the V8, it is SOOOO much more satisfying.

PPS... Track is open next weekend. I will post my results!

Interesting, I guess Gavin will contact me again for the new revision? Crazy stuff, so they did fix the 008A code

That's moving for a '71/'72 Chevelle. That's awesome.
Do you know how much the car weighed?

 

[Decanes]

Has anyone else had this problem
Every once in a while when starting up the car it seems to struggle to start like it is out of fuel but then fires right up

Yup.. My old one did once in a blue moon. NEVER from a cold start. Normally after it had been run once for the day. Most of the time, the AC or heat was on too.
