oh wow so they definitely make a difference. Maybe because mine is basically stock besides the tune they don’t work as well as if I was fbo?When you hit 5th at 90 mph it was struggling. Mine right now shifts to 5th at 113 mph lol
Can't wait to see what she'll do when you open her airways! I'm thinking you'll be at the low 13s easy without a cam.
i watched it a few more times and didn’t even notice the mph it shifted to 5th but it sounded super early. I watched a video before the gears and 5th gear shift was 103mph. I know the gears will make a difference but it almost sounded premature because the car just fell on its face after thatWhen you hit 5th at 90 mph it was struggling. Mine right now shifts to 5th at 113 mph lol
Well a bigger cam can offer you a longer power band. Keeps the curve up all the way through whatever rpm the cam and valve train can handle. That is of course all your other mods free the air flow enough.oh wow so they definitely make a difference.

You can here it in the video. Sounds like the stock 5500 rpms or so.I’m going to strap a gopro to the steering wheel and film the tach and speedo tomorrow to see when its shifting because i dont look when I’m driving lol

you think so? I talked to mags before I got them and he said nothing would be needed. I did email him yesterday to ask some questions but ill check on today’s runs when its shifting and if its shifting early. I didn’t think anything was needed in terms of tuningYou’ll want a new tcm tune to take advantage of them. With the driveshafts spinning faster, the transmission is seeing its targeted shaft speed sooner and shifting sooner.
I should hear back from MAGs monday hopefully and see what he says and see what, if anything, needs to be done. I'll get it figured out! These gears should have more improvement than what I'm gettingIt’ll run fine. A tune isn’t needed to make it run. But to take full advantage of the upgrade, it is. Lock up, shift points, all things that are affected by rpm//shaft speed and a myriad of other things. It made a noticeable different in my scat pack when I went from stock 3.08 to 3.73 and then had the trans tune updated for the gears.
It sounds like it's shifting at or pretty near the same point in his other videos. I listened pretty close. He already has a transmission tune. I think it will benefit more from a higher shift point once he gets the high end opened up. Right now power will probably drop off really quick past the stock power band high point, 5400-5500 rpms, with no engine mods.You’ll want a new tcm tune to take advantage of them.

Just posted shift points, 4th to 5th is super early in rpm band and it does it right before I cross the 1/4 mile whereas before i crossed the 1/4 mile in 4th. I think thats hurting my timeIt sounds like it's shifting at or pretty near the same point in his other videos. I listened pretty close. He already has a transmission tune.

When he does his next run like he did his last ones I think his 60 ft might get below the 2s. If so all the other engine upgrades, plus a red line shift point, are going to free up his high end and his times will be smoking.
Yeah it is.Just posted shift points, 4th to 5th is super early in rpm band and it does it right before I cross the 1/4 mile whereas before i crossed the 1/4 mile in 4th. I think thats hurting my time
you think its odd mine shifts at a different rpm every gear?Yeah it is.
Mine before the cam shifted at 36 and then 57, then 81, then 100. Seems like the higher each shift is, the higher the next shift will be.
I'd say soyou think its odd mine shifts at a different rpm every gear?
