Default Need Help!

ran my car this past weekend and wasnt really happy with the times.

R/T ... .563
60' .... 2.160
330 ... 5.949
1/8.... 9.018
MPH... 80.86
1000.. 11.566
1/4.... 13.864
MPH... 101.47

79* w/ 51% humidity w/ Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's

1999 Camaro SS A4


the 2nd to 3rd shift took forever and the car felt like fell flat on its face....

is torque management is to blame for such the long and drawn out shift? ... is there anyway I can roll out of the throttle to get it to shift quicker w/o it completely falling on its face for soo long, change shift points or anything?.....

I think you answered your own question. You probably want to take your car in to have someone change the shift points for you if you think it is shifting that bad. I'm not sure if there are any hand held devices that can do that for you, I don't have much experience with any of them. With some sticky tires and your mods you should be hitting at least hight 12's.

Get someone to adjust your shift points and get some sticky tires and 12's are in the bag.

definitly get someone to change your shift points. if i were you i would find someone in the area to do the ls1edit. i did it, and was very happy with results. with that, you can change your shift points, get rid of torque management, and plenty more. it will be a few hundred dollars, but its well-spent money
