Is your car actually shifting at 6200? The autos are kinda slow and the tuner has to command the shifts earlier so it doesn't hit the limiter. If you bump up the shift points the car might start hitting the limiter more often on shifts.

Haven't had it hit the limited and it's hard to tell as I'm not sure if the tach keeps up with the actual speed of the engine. I have noticed it shift to 6200 a couple of times though when I was watching.

I'm pretty sure the shift Points and limiter have been bumped up. It seems to shift 1-200 rpm later than before. My tach hardly saw 6000 rpm before this tune. I'm not going to ask him to bump it ip more, but would long tubes and high flow cats possibly help it up top?

Btw, where are the videos?

Nice. A stall would probably help about now around town. The car wants to pull away while in idle. I emailed yank about their tax return discount, just waiting on response. Might contact the other companies once I get a quote and see what they can offer

Good news; my yank ss3600 should be on the way soon. Expect better kills than 2v bolt on mustangs in my future.

Thanks, and working on it!

I have stock rims w/ 245s. I believe I can only manage to fit a 255. I need to find an inexpensive rim/tire combo. I'm pretty poor.
