    after my new C4 slobbered all over itself, i think i found the problem...:yup:
    a guy suggested it might be the valvebody. i pulled out the TCI Performance one and put the stock one back in....i now have all the gears and no slobber...:clap:Jeff called Summit and they had another valvebody so i hopped in the mav. and took off to Summit.:drive:..stopped by Baby Janes so Jeff and i could grab a bite first...
    (wanting to test my fix) on the way up i cruised at 85-87 MPH...untill...a mustang passed me. then the last 12 miles was 95-100 MPH...:D
    3:55 at 100 MPH-3000 RPM SMOOOOOOTH and quite. (w/windows down)
    going to install the performance valvebody tomorrow morning.
    if it test drives out i will mow the grass, wash the car and i will be ready to leave Wed. morning....
    see ya'll there...

    Sounds fun! I must have missed it, but what happened to your AOD? Or is this C4 in another Mav?

    Anything 50 over the limit here, you lose your car and your license, and get charged with street racing.
