Marcus18 Posted November 11, 2003 Report Posted November 11, 2003 as the subject says. I shift at 4500rpm is that normal or is my tach off? when I hold it in gear it hits the rev limiter at 5000rpm. what are you guy running? marcus Quote
93GTP Posted November 11, 2003 Report Posted November 11, 2003 Rev limiter at 5000? I assume you mean it shifts at 5500 (yellow mark) and the rev limiter is 6000? Quote
Marcus18 Posted November 11, 2003 Author Report Posted November 11, 2003 no it shifts at 4500rpm when I put it in 1st and don't let it shift at starts bucking at 5000 never goes higher. I need to shift at 5200 thats where my peak hp is. I've gone higher in the past but lately it the limiter is at 5000rpm. also this morning it shift at 4300 at WOT so somethings up. marcus Quote
Intlcutlass Posted November 11, 2003 Report Posted November 11, 2003 It really completely depends on the situation. If I am drag racing somebody.... I'll take it up to 5500. Passing somebody 4000-4500 Driving just around town 2000-3000 Quote
Marcus18 Posted November 11, 2003 Author Report Posted November 11, 2003 I guess I should say I have a auto transmission. thats what I'm looking for. my turbo STE marcus Quote
Jeorge Posted November 12, 2003 Report Posted November 12, 2003 well with my STE it veries...if I hold it to the Floor it will Shift at 6,000 if not if im just 1/4-1/2 inch from the floor 5,500 its kind of odd watching it climb into the Red like that but 6,000 is where the Rev limiter is...or well should be anyways....

RareGMFan Posted November 12, 2003 Report Posted November 12, 2003 If my gauges are right (and I put a different one in from the factory recently), mine doesn't shift untill well into 6K. :shock: Untill I put my K&N cone filter on directly to the turbo, it wouldn't shift at all till it hit fuel cut off. :? I don't know how accurate this is, but if it's true, it may be further proof that somethings wrong with my computer all together. Quote
god910 Posted November 12, 2003 Report Posted November 12, 2003 My TGP shifts WHEN I CHOOSE at WOT. Quote
LukeZ34 Posted November 12, 2003 Report Posted November 12, 2003 My TGP shifts WHEN I CHOOSE at WOT. Heh, I was gonna say the same thing. You beat me to it! 8) Quote
idbeast Posted November 12, 2003 Report Posted November 12, 2003 The recent drop in RPM sounds to me like you have a plug or plug wire that is starting to flake out on you... Quote
dkorinko Posted November 13, 2003 Report Posted November 13, 2003 Got the new tranny in...Shifts at 5000 Sharp, evertime. Quote
god910 Posted November 13, 2003 Report Posted November 13, 2003 I like the Sound of that Jay Hehe, if you like the sound of that you should hear my BOV, when I DO decide to shift. 16 psi, make's one helluva sound coming out of that little hole. 8) Quote
Marcus18 Posted November 13, 2003 Author Report Posted November 13, 2003 You guys make me want a 5-speed. hmm 5-speed $250-$300 cool factor shift when ever burnouts first STE with a 5-speed..(I think) less drivetrain loss less weight BOV last along time rebuild auot trans $90 shift kit bracket racing easy driving in traffic punch it and go factor easy launches spool at line factor lasts a year maybe (with my driving and future mods) grrrrr now I want a 5-speed. marcus Quote
