Like I said, you should have been in second.

Then you fail at driving.

Here is my car making more HP than yours shifting into second at ~86 MPH. Same gears as you, and a stall...

Agreed. I used to KILL at my sweet spot of 60mph/2nd gear with my stock 3.46 gears. Only when I got to 70-75mph was it sketchy on whether it would upshift without hitting the rev limiter. Stop being afraid of making noise and manually hold them gears!

that reminds me I gotta update my sig for the 3.70 gears...

Again the car did downshift into second...this numbnut hit the brakes every time I went to pass him. I don't know of anybody that races from 60-100. The usual is 60-120 or so. By 85-90mph I was door to door with him. I will race him again and get it on video...I just gotta find him!

from a 60 he shouldn't be in front period. i ran one when i was stock from a 55 and he was never in front. next time put your car in second then after you punch it move it to 3rd and you'll be fine and if you say youll hit the limiter either your spinning or making way more hp than me, cause i know it takes time to go from 60-80 when the car is supposed to shift

That's what I don't get...when I was stock I made 300/321. Now with intake exhaust and tune I made 308/331. On two different dynos. Both were mustang dynos. The car feels alot faster since these mods.

Your right about the shifting into 2nd at 60...I tried it against a 370 and it was really bad for him. Thanks for the driving mod!
