my right front tire wont stop going flat???
i have a 2002 camaro, Z28, LS1, convertible top, stock rims and tires, the only modifications that have been made were a SLP cold air intake, zero ohm ignition wires, and a SLP loudmouth exhaust...yet some how, for some reason, my right front tire kept going flat...so i bought a whole new rim, and a whole new tire, same dimensions as the original, stock rim and tire from the factory, yet again, i am having the same problem...i will park it, let it sit for about 36-48 hours, and the tire is flat...this happened before, with the old tire, and a brand new rim and tire that were just put on! what could possibly be the problem???

Wait a second. You reused the same valvestem with a new rim and a new tire and your are asking us what the problem is? You replace a rim that will not rust and should out live the car but you reused a $1.75 item that should never be reused? Its a cruse alright but it not the car that is cursed.

You never want to reuse an old valve stem, even when putting new tires on old wheels. It's just too cheap to not replace. You have one constant, the valve stem, that's your problem.
Was it a reputable shop that mounted your new wheel and tire? I can't believe they wouldn't have recommended that you change the stem, it's automatic.
