Problems....

[Redbird]

Ok, so I got my car on the dyno last week and turns out that its putting out less HP than my 2000 3.8 did. Anyways, that really sucks and all, but we think the problem is that my car is running EXTREMELY lean. What would be causing this problem? Checking fuel pump, filters... any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Trans-Am putting out less hp than your 3.8??

For you, that must suck, for us 3.8's that kinda cool.

Are you throwing any codes, I would guess an exhaust leak.

[Redbird]

Well the only thing I know right now is that yes, it does suck.

And yep, any 3.8s that run me right now are going to feel very good about they're car. I had one before and I always wanted to kill a TA or Z28.

But back to the problem, anyone got ideas?

Oh, and no codes being thrown at all

I know this is FirebirdV6.com and not LS1.com. I'm posting here because I had a 2000 Firbird v6 for 2 yrs and I respect most of the people here and I know that a lot of people know about cars and are willing to try to help with each other's problems. I've already posted at LS1.com and have no response, so I thought I'd come here and see what would be said. Seems like sometimes people at LS1.com don't ever reply, they just read posts and go about their business.

I'm not coming here bashing v6s or anything, just looking for some advice from other car people is all.
