My car has absolutely nothing trying to punch it at 80mph. Just cruising, Im fine. WTF, though I've never noticed this before. Is it the 3.23 gears and cause Im an automatic or what?

 

What do you mean nothing? It just slips?

 

I punch and it goes no where it act likes Im just letting off the gas.

 

Are you driving a Ford?

... Ron

 

So you punch it and the rpms go down?

 

pretty much, then I'll give it a second punch it again and it goes like normal! NO ITS NOT A FORD

 

Does it only do it at 80mph? What about 60 or so? Is the car modded?

 

No it only does it around 80. Yes, I've got a cutout, Predator, and a MTI LID.

 

Ok since it's not a Ford, it IS fixable.

Do you think theres something wrong with the Eng, Trans or something goofy like too much carpet under the gas pedal.

... Ron

 

I did have a little problem like this at the same speed and it was because of my shift points. My RPM's would go up but the car wouldn't go too much faster, then it would finally shift and go. I had to take it back to Speed Inc and then they fixed it (They did the org tuning, so I dunno how they messed up in my 1st tune).

 

Well, I've had the Predator for over a year and I left the shift points and REV limiter normal so I dont think thats it!

 

Ya know dude ... your realy not telling anybody anything here. Maybe you've got a V6 in this thing and thats all its worth.

I don't mean to get on you but come on. "I punch it and it slows down" ie: If your turning 6k in second and you floor it, then it hits the rev limiter ... This is something to go on!

good luck ... Ron

 

Right on Ron. Chaz, you have had your predator for over year now and you have not changed the shift points or rev limiter? Those are about the most meaninful adjustments you can make with that thing short of having a wideband to do A/F with it. What gives?

 

It sounds like you are saying the car is a dog at 80 and not that anything is wrong. Your car doesn't downshift at 80 mph with 3.23s. You are in 3rd gear at low rpms so the performance blows. A high stall converter will fix that.

 

I figured having a stock cam I really don't need to be changing the REV limiter. Can anyone verify this? Also, why would I need to change the shift points, being internally stock and light bolt-ons wouldn't the factory settings be plenty good. And no TA/30th its not a v6, just like it wasn't a f#*@ing ford. Have u even said anything worth really posting?

 

You really need to stop giving people attitude who are tring to help you. And I really doubt TA/30th is tring to **** you off, just making some jokes. I'll have to agree with the others who are sayin you don't know to much about your car.

 

When my TA was totally stock: cruising at 80 mph ish with the gear shift in OD position; if I dropped the throttle down some the trans would make an OD-3 shift and the car pulled decent. If I went to WOT the trans would shift down to 2nd, engine revs would twist right up to +6k and I would get a 2-3 shift around 90+ mph.

If I were to be cruising at 80 mph ish with my gear shift in 3rd position; going to WOT my trans would make a 3-2 shift, rev out to rev limiter at 6.2K, 90+ mph and sit there misfiring. ... This was normal for a stock GM setup.

If this helps you at all, I want a cookie little dude!

... Ron

 

TA/30th I apologize for my stupid comment. Rough weekend And Madice your right I know very little about my car but thats why I post. Again I apologize

 

Thankyou for the cookie ChazMan.

Back to talkin HotRods. Can we fix/tune your car, or do you think it's not broke yet?

... Ron

 

No problem, I just thought you were being a little rough on us for tring to help. Stay on the boards and you'll learn more then enough quickly.
