Car sucks from a 60-70mph roll Alright guys. I've been playing with my car some from a roll and I'm not real pleased with it right now. From a 60-70 mph roll it will flash to about 3700-3800(going off the stock tach so who knows) and start pulling pretty well, but nothing like it would if it would drop down a gear.
Its got a SS3600 Yank. I just for the life of me can't get it to drop a gear and really start moving out. Is this just a tuning issue, is it b/c of the 3.23's or what? Help me out folks

Little of both....with 3.23's you should top out 2nd at ~70-75 MPH with stock shift points. 60 is getting real close to that. You can have it adjusted in the tune to drop at that speed but it would almost immediately shift into 3rd again. Probably not the best for your tranny. 40 rolls are the sweet spot for 2nd!

So I guess I'm just gonna have to live with it. Oh well. I have found that just before I punch to blip the throttle and then punch it pulls sooo much better.
Mine sucks at 40 also. Now 30-35 hold on. It will give the drag radials a work out!

if i remeber right, with 3.23's it hits 6000rpm at 86mph. it might be in the tune. i had someone screw up my tune before, the person set 2-1 shift to be at <10mph, not the normal 30 something

Well after some more investigative work, this thing does have 2.73's. Which also helps to explain why it was such a turd at the track yesterday.
Borrowed a GPS from work and sure enough the speedo is off about 4-5 mph. So after knowing that and playing around so this weekend, it does hit good from a roll unlike I was talking about earlier.

Anyone else have thoughts on this?
As for the original post, I'm an A4 with 3.23's and a 60 roll seems to be where my car pulls the best. I guess that could have something to do with the tune I got though.
Definitely throw some 3.73's in... I did this past weekend with the stock stall and just a lid, and the car is much more funner to drive. Don't have the funds for a nice stall right now, so I decided to do gears first even though people say you should do the stall first. I had 2.73's also, so I feel your pain. They are sluggish!

I'm having my 3.73s and Auburn posi put in this sat and I'll head to the track Sunday to see what kind of improvement I get.
I've always liked stalled autos from a roll, I think they're better than a manual imo.
But like I said earlier, now that I know where I actually need to be speed wise(sine the speedo is off) to get a good jump, its much better
