(pot kettle much?)
Well I wasn't "hounding" you, in fact if you see "who replied to who" it would appear to be the other way around...
you always seem to "chime in" when I say something,so it really appears that you are hounding/trolling my posts
you were posting misinformed information, that is all I was trying to clear up...before someone came and and followed your bad information.
P.S. thanks for telling my my first gen wasn't properly tuned, again... who's hounding WHO?
Absolutely! Before any "spirited" driving, click off OD!
Based on your original post, it sounds like your car is only downshifting to second (not 3rd) and because its not shifting all the way to first, the engine does not reach its power band because its so low in the RPM range, then when it shifts to 3rd, your MPH is closer to the RPM powerband range you should be at. If the car did shift to 1st, it would accelerate through the power range normally.
Its simple, drive it like you stole it!
Thanks....umm, Officer. LOL
Thanks....umm, Officer. LOL
Haha good one! I'm only an Officer when I put on the uniform and belt.
Haha, why does that concern you?
I don't drive any cars like I stole it except the Crown Vics...but thats because I have cool lights.
BTW, how do the CHP Crown Vics differ from stock? I'm told that besides the obvious, most of the performance differences are in the suspension. What can you tell us?
Your Mk VIII will outrun the Cops CV! Oh yeah, but it will NOT outrun the radio!
Just look up the P71 package.
Stiffer springs front/back and stiffer shocks front/back
3.55 rear gears with trac-lock
Dual Exhaust
MMX Driveshaft
Engine Oil Cooler
200 amp alternator
Dual Exhaust
It really doesn't offer any extra performance only durability.
Something strange is happening since I added the 3.73’s. I’ve tried to narrow it down and have come up with this.
If I go WOT (passing) around 30- 40mph ( I think I’m in 3rd at this speed ) the car hardly accelerates although the rpm’s go to redline(from 1400 to 6300). Once it shifts into OD it takes off like a bat out of you know where.
I don’t know anything about automatics is this the torque converter not locking, clutch slipping or….?
I have:
3.73
Tac-lock
