Default Kr@1600rpm's ?

I'm getting .1* too 4* KR at 1600rpm in 6th gears at WOT
No KR over 1800 Rpm


I have the following Mods
stock tune
new tr6ix plugs all torqued to 132 inch pounds and ls2 plug wires
QTP header & y-pipe. GMMG cat-back
MTI lid
NX Gemini twin MAF kit
board out TB & bump stop mod

Is this normal?


I did a search and couldn't find anything
thank
Joe

That's what happens when you lug the motor. Perfectly normal.

6th gear is your overdrive gear. When you go WOT at that low of an RPM in 6th it puts more of a load on the motor and that will cause some KR. Next time drop it down to 4th or even 3rd depending on the speed you are driving at the moment.

yeah, that will happen when you lug it. Any reason why youre at WOT at 1600 rpm? Id downshift a few gears beforeing going WOT. Unless of course you were checking for a slipping clutch or something.
