Lagging at WOT

KevinJ99GT · July 14th, 2009, 11:39 PM

Anyone have ideas of how to get rid of the automatic transmission lag at highway speeds? Or at least cut it down some? Its rediculous that it takes over a second sometimes to kick down.

T56. Actually, just buy a cobra. Have you looked into a shift kit? Can't you mess with those settings in your tuner?

KevinJ99GT · July 15th, 2009, 12:11 AM

yeah, i guess once i get my exhaust ill get a custom tune done.

Scott2001GT · July 15th, 2009, 12:48 AM

the down shift will take a little.....but if racing turn O.D off and then punch it

KevinJ99GT · July 15th, 2009, 12:50 AM

my top end sucks as it is, the down shift doesnt help. I think my exhaust is very very restrictive it feels like its just wanting to breathe. Damn why didnt i get a cobra...

Scott2001GT · July 15th, 2009, 12:54 AM

dude all 2v top ends sucks with no heads or cams lol. Fuck it man don't worry about it. Cobras are nice, yes.... but pricey. What are you looking for in your question. Like wanna roll race or pass people?

KevinJ99GT · July 15th, 2009, 12:55 AM

roll racing

KevinJ99GT · July 15th, 2009, 12:56 AM

notice any gain with your prochamber?

Scott2001GT · July 15th, 2009, 12:59 AM

ok well i was in your say stop. we autos have catch up on rolls no doubt. But the shifts is where thats at. tuner and shift kit with a triple disc stall to lock up quick in 2 and 3. An alm driveshaft wont be bad either. When you race on rolls what mph you punchin?

Scott2001GT · July 15th, 2009, 01:00 AM

oh and idk exhuast...i notice noise.

KevinJ99GT · July 15th, 2009, 01:00 AM

45mph and it takes off like a bat out of hell, some people like to do fly bys at like 55 and thats where i get the lag. Also, ive been thinking about alum driveshaft, but i figured midpipe and catback should come first.

Scott2001GT · July 15th, 2009, 01:02 AM

ok 45 not bad. you try 25 man?

KevinJ99GT · July 15th, 2009, 01:05 AM

yeah 20-25 is usually where i race people because thats where i can get somewhat traction. Should i have od off at 55 mph though?

Scott2001GT · July 15th, 2009, 01:10 AM

ya my 25 fucking kicks for a stock auto with 4:10s. I have O/D off at all times of racing. BUT if I know I will do over 112 i will leave in on and go into 4th. I have down it once. I did get a tenth better at the track with it on. Idk how that happened. At my 55 it run 3k with O/D off and when punched jumps to 5.5k and shifts at 6k into 3rd and pulls ok till about 85. So cams should fix that

98midnight · July 15th, 2009, 01:17 AM

when you're roll racing you just need to punch it a little sooner if you know you're gonna have to downshift. So if you or whoever is racing you is honking 3 times then you need figure out a good time to punch it at instead of punching it at/after the third honk. if you're already in 3rd gear w/ o.d. off then you should be fine when punchin on 3rd honk

KevinJ99GT · July 15th, 2009, 01:17 AM

hmm, anyone notice a difference when they changed out their midpipe and catback? I dont want to be dissapointed.

Scott2001GT · July 15th, 2009, 01:18 AM
