new to vibe

Post by impalamike3800 »

hey hows it going i am mike and my girl just picked up a 2004 GT. I joined to gain knowlege about just what is capable with these. I know I was a little upset when I hopped on HP tuners site and saw that the vibe was not supported for tuning (damn them for using toyotas ecu! lol). but yeah my expertise is with good old fashon pushrod motors and within the past 7 years the series II 3800. you can click the link in my sig to see what all I have done with my impala. but yeah just here like the rest of you.

matrixowners.com FTW... they have done more modding for Trix than the vibe... I'm sure they have some more Hard Core guys that could help you with tuning too (besides Unichip)
