I need more tire in the rear so I dont have to get above 40mph to go wot in 2nd. Wot in first is useless.

And no thats not rain, my windshield is just dirty lol.

Quick question wouldn't you be more likely to loose traction at higher rpms then lower rpms in 2nd gear. Sounded good though.

Thanks man, going to hit Lito up and see what he says.

Thanks you sir

@ your question: Technically yes if the rpms were the only factor and I wasn't wot shifting. But it doesnt make sense to wot shift below 3500 rpms (which is where the torque starts over powering the tires) so speed has to be factored in as well. So above 40mph seems to be where the weight of the car has enough forward momentum to prevent the tires from being overloaded by torque.

Thanks for the comments guys!

@ the questions:

Exhaust: Borla stinger axle backs. I have been thinking about trying a single borla mid mount for a deep rumble.

Shift: Raptor shift light in a raptor claw mount.

AFR acts like mine, Lito and i are working on it.
If you slightly press gas pedal (1500/2000), does your AFR go lean then drops to 12/low 13 and finally stabilizes to 14.6?
Have you been driving my car?! LOL
Yeah man that is exactly what mine is doing. Does Manuel have any thoughts on what is going on?

No, but AFR has some fluctuations like mine!
I let Lito do his stuffs and i try new revisions. But we didn't find the cause yet.

It happenned a few times, do you know something about that?

Yeah, ever so slightly now. It was really bad but I let Lito know and he pretty much has it lined out now. I feel like my car has been a headache for him, I had a charge pipe leak that I didn't catch during initial tuning and I feel like that has caused him to have to tweak parts of the tune that he normally wouldn't have to mess with. I'll say this, He is a GREAT guy and an AWESOME tuner!

My car did something very similar. I took it to Henson and he added more timing and leaned it out a little and it was fixed. He never could tell me what he thought was making it hesitate(buck) in the 1500-2500 rpm range. It felt like it only did it while cruising but I could not get the car to go faster than 8.00 at the track until Henson retuned it. I am not knocking Lito in any way just stating that I had a similar problem and it was fixed with a retune.

We all know Lito's skills! What about MPG? I got bad mileage too...

Same question about MPG.

I can only do 155 miles with a full tank. Only city driving though

YES! Very bad. Like 9 mpg bad! I get around 24 mpg now(highway).
For what its worth Litos tune put down 416 hp and like 420tq so there was still a little left in it but whatever Henson did for the drive-ability is what fixed the problem. I will ask him tomorrow what his thoughts are report back. Maybe he can help.

My mpg hasnt been all that bad. Before this last revision (to fix the bucking) I was averaging around 20-21mpg. It has dropped to about 17-18 now but I'm sure it will be back up when Lito tweaks it:thumbup:
