Working problems through the internet is a little hard.....sounds like you do not have it installed correctly. Are you sure you put the wiring in correctly and the connections are secure?

A great pro shop did it. they welded the wires. it's quicker and it gives a shot but when it shifts it's like a lag.(in stage 2) but in stage 1 it seems to be OKay...

must not be installed correctly.... I wired mine in and there's a noticeable difference between off, stage 1 and stage 2........ and also, in the videos you're referring to, they had the traction control off

Put it in "L" so that the traction Control is off (little yellow light on dash shows up). Let the tranny shift on its' own into second with the selector in "L", then shift into "I" after you are in second. If you have it in "I" or "D" the traction control reduces power if it detects wheel spin.

I have a 2.4SS with stock tires and rims. It chirps from 1st to 2nd everytime in stage 2. Either your cobalt is broken or they didn't install it correctly.

All you do is put it in L, floor it, and listen, make sure you shift up to I before you near redline in 2nd.

You do know that it will shift @6700 RPM from 1st to 2nd with the selector in "L" right?

New pavement has oil in it which will make it easier to chirp your tires. I wouldn't use this as an indication of the effectiveness of your shift kit

Harder tires will spin easier than softer tires so the fact that you can spin your tires easier than with the stock Pirelli's doesn't surprise me...

Nice thanks a lot guys it chirps the tires everytimes NO MORE LAG!! I just owned an Acura Tsx

But I don't know if it chirps the tires or the transmission grind... it's not a big Squeek when it shifts but no more lag...?

i realize that taz but it is a good indicataion because these stock auto's do no cwhen u shift thats why we put th b& m in there, but with the new pavement it makes it easier that is all i am saying

My tires only chirped when they were bald. I got a new set of tires and no more chirping. ID rather not have any chirp at all. Means you loose traction which in turn reduces accelleration. Constant traction is what i want.

No One "welds" wires together. They can be soldered, which would be the proper way to connect the wires. I hear the wire taps are good too. I found the perfect place for the module. Its on the driver side to the left of the radio under neathe the steering wheel. there is a place that the module can be jammed in to which holds it well and hides the switch nicely. Id take pictures but im too lazy to do it at the moment.

Mine doesn't spin tire when I'm in normal D even in stage 2, but when I want to, I drop it to I and that thing squeals like a pig. The thing locks up perfectly in D though..
