I have too much hp now! Need to lower or...

I mentioned in previous posts that my automatic transmission shift points raised when I added my exhaust and cold air intake. Now that it is cold weather I'm making even more hp and hitting the revlimiter. Shifts are terrible now. To lower my shift points I need to lower my hp or find a way to make this transmission shift sooner. I would rather do the latter. Is there programming available for our shift points?

Sorry about your horsepower problem. Isn't it possible to remove the rev limiter?

I noticed in your sig that you list an ASP UDP. I didn't know they made them. What do you think of it?

I really don't want to take my engine higher in rpm. The factory valve springs might float going any higher than the factory setting. Maybe that's what I'm gettting now. I would rather the transmission shift sooner.

I like my ASP underdrive. I have their prototype pulley. Not sure when they will be out but I am sure soon. The engineering as been done for quite some time.

...give some to me :)



Like ToasterMax said: valve body.

I thought there was something going on in the GD forum about the Maxximum Tuning VB. I remember reading that some folks had pretty good experiences with their VB mod.

Might want to check it out...

Larry since you're local, you might want to get hold of Don (Mobiletek) for the VB work. If you can find other people in the area to get their VB modded you could probably even get Don to offer a group deal price.

Here's what I did: http://www.mustangmods.com/publish/8850//mufflers.JPG

I cut the factory pipe off and ground out the remaining welded in tube end. I went from a 1.90 approx. ID to a 2.06 ID in the muffler. I used mandrel bent tubing to go over the hub that was left on the factory muffler. I don't know if it will flow as good as an aftermarket muffler but it is nice and quite.

So basically you cut your muffler off and added bigger mandrel bent piping leading up to the muffler?? thats what the pics look like anyway. If thats the case then im looking into doing this same thing sometime pretty soon. how much did this cost you??

I bought two sections of Flowmaster mandrel bent tubing from a local muffler shop and the welding for about $50.

Don still owes many people a lot of money, and hasn't given them any products. He also has a habit of making people wait for months. And some of the people that got his mods have had to take it to Maximum Tuning for repair.

Maximum Tuning doesn't have one complaint against them and their VB mod is excellent. I've got it and couldn't be more happy. 2 day turnaround.

Don't take the change; go with the sure thing!

I emailed Jeff and asked him if he can help with my tranny problem.

Thanks!
