Default Paging RUQWIKR(shift point Q).....

Hey man, Bob2of3 sent me that "rundown of mods" list you had posted. Very well written. It's a good learning tool for me to go by. Anyways, main questions are, what were your shift points(i know the HPP settings, just looking for rpm) and why did you go with a negative number on the 2-3 shift? thanks for any help.

He probably went negative because of Torque Management. I had mine set at -5 and it helped. But thanks to Ed Wright its gone now.

In fact, I could not statistically tell a difference with either of the 3 settings with 1-2 on ET or mph.

As far as torque management, it and the REST of the cal was stock. I had PCM with the torque management out but did not show any repeatable gains. I don't want to start the old argument of pro/con to TM. I prefer to leave it in for durability concerns.

Now that I am H/C, I have only had about 10 runs with it like that and have been playing with shift points and limiter settings. No run has been clean on both shifts as far as hitting the limiter (6600-7000).

BTW, you can tell Bob2of3 to get ahold of me once in a while as he has fallen off the face of the earth.

Thanks for the info!!

I was just confused cause you had written you went +2 on the 1-2 and then -2 on the 2-3 w/ a 6400 limiter <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> i'm hoping to play with the car in the next coming week. thanks again.
