Man, I can't believe how quick and precise this auto transmission is! Plus, with the extra 5th gear versus the pre '05 stangs, it's definitely a leg up in performance and fuel mileage... Not that fuel mileage means anything when you're modded lol ;) They really have a lot of potential though. Awesome man.
You've got some low (stock cam range) shift points. You're probably making great power up to ~7k rpm. My shift light is set to 6.8k. If I had SPR cams it would probably be set to 7k ;-). That's the beauty of aftermarket cams... the guy you're racing with street cams suffocates over 6k rpm while you cruise on by. raise those shift points and take advantage.
yeah i know. its an brenspeed set the shift points for the automatic and they set the redline to 6500. The tune is crap when i get it to a real tuner i will have them set it to shift at 7K . the cams are just coming on line at 6 so i know what you mean but its hard to shift and hold a camera at the same time. hence leaving it in D lol
The first time I watched I thought I saw it shifting right at redline, around 6k but I see that it's 6.5. The cams really open it up on top, I was floored how much more high-rpm hp I have with them. 7k is no problem, I'm just nervous with the stock springs. They ran it to 7.2k on the dyno though and didn't think it was a problem so...I still set my shiftpoint at 6.8k lol.
From what I hear the fastest auto dragracers just leave it in drive as well. I've often kicked myself for not getting an auto with good stall conv... I may swap an auto in there one day.
Very true. People don't see the advantages that an automatic has. They just see that you have an automatic and "automatically" judge you as a pussy or something for not getting a stick shift.
