They're a good idea for manual transmission cars. I personally think they could be a damn good deal for automatic cars with enough converter.

I ordrered one yesterday I think it will work well with My PI 3500 md on the new F1 set up.

I've been waiting for someone to get it working with the 5R55S and tell us how it's done. Hurry up...

Need my motor first so I most likely will not post the info first!

I am going to order one as soon as I get the car back in one piece. From what I have read you can easily hook it up to a switch and use it with an auto. Here is a link to the wiring you would need to do. If I ever dump my manual for a AODE I will wire it to the cruise control and an additional switch to select between the LL and the 2-step.

Two step rev limiter for manuals (or at least I thought--I've been corrected...again...). At the tree, the clutch is in and your right foot has the gas floored, but it's wound up to a preset rpm level, say 5500rpm. Launch and then the rev limiter is back to the original (say 7000rpm). Supposed to help with consistent launches and all that.

Here's the instructions: http://www.msdignition.com/pdf/WireDiagrams/frm29006_8734.pdf

Here's the blurb:

About $220 it seems.

Where did you make your purchase from? I am looking them up and showing to highest year of 04. You guys gave me something new to look up, thanks. What benefit do you think that it will give over your 3500 stall? Does that question make sense to you? lol

guess you posted a little faster than me and answered my questions without me knowing it yet.

I just shot them an email asking about application for 2005+ Mustangs. It shows application for all 99+ Fords, so we'll see what they say. If it's applicable to our cars I'm buying one.

I got it on my car a couple of weeks ago.It works great.Easy to install mostly plug & play.I have mine wired with TB.Stage,depress TB,floor the gas pedal,last orange light,let her go.I cut much better lights,first one was 0.0298 & the second light was 0.0211.I ordered it in Feb,got it in April.
It makes your car sound like a real drag car launching on the 2 step.
The little indents are barely visible to adjust the dials & the dials are small,but once its set thats it.I installed mine on the fire wall with some double sided tape above master brake cylinder area,the wires are not long enough to install it in the car.
This is a 9 out of 10 for bang for the buck & fun factor,you will leave guys sitting at the lights.
Keep this our secret eh!!

Suhweet... I want one. Do you have a transbrake on your 4R70? What launch RPM did you set it at, and what stall converter do you have?

He has pretty much the same setup as I do. We did ours around the same time and Len built ours the same time.

Hey Randy, did you figure out any the problems with your car? Did you get it dynoed with the 4r70w yet? The power your making and the MPH your car is trapping at doesnt equal. You need to have it dynoed.

 

[scramblr]

Well, I think we have this figured out already, but here you go anyway.

Sir,

Thank you for your interest in our products. The 8734 has been tested on
the new 3V motors and it worked fine.

Thanks,
