I don't really want to drag my car or modify it too much, just want to keep it stock and enjoy it for the good car it is.
Best bet is trade up to a BA XR8, they've fixed all the AU problems and you get extra performance for free!!!!

Tongue Re: T3 Low-rpm hunting

Only trade down to a BA xr8 and go slower would be the correct wording.
Sorry to correct to you.

Dont know about anyone else but I've run a few XR8 BA and they are no contest, the GT is a contest but still I beat them as well.

Re: T3 Low-rpm hunting

Check the Hot wire on the MAF.

If contaminated with matter (air filter oils, dust and greasy residues) will indicate lean at idle.

Find a T3, swap MAF's and see what happens.

P.S, down here, BA XR8's waste T3's guys! unless your running a 13.3 on a street radial, no contest.

need 3 more cams

Re: T3 Low-rpm hunting

I don't really want to get into the AU vs BA thing, but if I wanted a BA I'd have one, simple as that. Nevertheless, if you go by road tests in Motor and Wheels, the stock BAs are heavier than my T3, both the XR8 and GT are slower over the quarter and 0-100, they have lost something in the steering department, and in my opinion have lost plenty in the individuality stakes. To the owners of BAs, I say this - if your entirely mass-produced, hi-tech machines aren't faster and better than our T-series, they bloody well should be. Further, to brag about your twin-cam, long-stroke motor (in itself an engineering anomaly) when it's been modified and you've put it against stock T3s is a pointless exercise. Stock for stock, the T3 will hold its own according to everything I've read. Any other comparo is a waste of time, as none of the variables are factored in as they are during magazine testing. So give us a break people, we have T3s because we like them best (as does John Bowe who helped develop them). If you want a BA, good on you, I don't give a rats, but compare apples with apples.

Re: T3 Low-rpm hunting

For someone who wanted to not get into the debate when 3 posts ago i said dont start you sure as hell did a good job in getting into and fueling it even further. PLEASE just drop the shit, you like you T3 good on you, I had one, was the biggest mistake of my life, i have a GTP best thing ive ever owned, now Can we just drop the shit and listen to the ppl who are trying to give you advice on your cars problem.

Any more posts on this GTvt3 will end up in the thread being locked
