are you looking for drivabilty?
couldn't you just upload one of them 'torque' tunes?

I was going to suggest a 5.9L Cummins Turbo Diesel swap, but that might be a bit much :)

I can promise you this low/peak whatever cams/gears will get him down the track quicker and faster. Last time I checked that is the name of the game isnt it? :idea:
Not everyone does stuff to their car to be 5-hundredths quicker at the track. This guy simply stated he wanted more low-end torque, and gears themselves don't add torque, though it'll feel like they do. I'm just reading what he wrote and am interpreting it literally...I try not to draw conclusions and assume.

Bill,

If you go heads, cams and gears, I wonder if it would benefit you to go to a 3500 rpm stall. You gunning for 11's NA? I drove a 3500 rpm stall car on the street, it was actually not bad, I didn't find it "un-streetable".

First of all I can help you improve your low end very cheaply, YOU NEED MORE GEAR. I find it interesting that cams "will lower your tq numbers",when I did my cams (stage2 SPR 127500's) and heads I picked up OVER 30 LB FT TQ on a Mustang Dyno thru an AUTO.
Question are your numbers from a Dyno Jet or Mustang Dyno?

Thanks Todd
I think this winter I'am going to check if PI can redo my stall speed instead of buying new.

I'am thinking about cams because wife wants me to get them!!!!!!!!:clap:

Realistically, you are looking at maybe 8-14rwhp gain with LT's on an n/a car if you're lucky
