i wish my tires were that cheap...It weird I am driving around now with stock cats,a 91 tune, and my black powder coated wheels and it bums me out. Hell I scrape my cats on everything now to. Oh well...
When I had it where auto upshift was disabled I would do a little drifting and bounce of the rev limiter all the time. I think Quick and Mike (Diablosport) mentioned that you can float the valves..??....by allowing the car to continually bounce of off the rev limiter. I suppose I could lower my shift points and rev limiter back to stock to avoid this. But, I like the raised shift points. So, by allowing the car to auto upshift in auto stick mode the car will shift "closer" to the set shift points. Make sense???
Rick, I think you said you had your rev limiter set at 6900? Did you have to go that high? I think mine is at 6600? with the raised shift points. Shift point = 6400 Rev Limiter = 6600(?) -- never hit it and never tested it. Occassionally when logging I usually see rpms just over 6400 during a shift. I have auto-upshift enabled. Point is that with a shift point at 6400 I don't think you need the rev limiter set at 6900. So I'm guessing you just like to shift it manually at a higher shift point? I've got the impression (mainly from Nathan "Redfox" I think) that it might be possible to float the valves with the stock springs at 6700. Maybe he just broke a spring -- defect? Anyway, why not just drop your rev limiter to 6700?
Good point. For some reason I thought it shifted at 6600 from 2-3, 3-4, and 4-5. But after some research I see that I'm wrong. I'm going to lower my rev limiter to 6700. Thanks buddy! :friends:
In the later CROM versions (r20 and up for sure) when you enable raised shift points it will automatically raise your rev limiter. Then if you hit the rev limiter with auto-upshift you might have to raise it above that. I've never touched my rev limiter setting. Whatever it set it at automatically then I did raised shift points worked fine. I *think* that's 6600?
Oh, this is good. It seems you haven't had anything to fret over lately. How about this? They're going for as much power as possible while staying comfortably below the point where they feel you should build the motor. There's no doubt you will sacrifice some engine longevity for added power. You plan to keep the car as least until it's paid off and then maybe longer for more mods right? So how do you know that the added power from the hi-flow cats isn't going to push you over that "comfortable" amount of added power? How many miles do you expect it to have on it when you get it paid off? :cry::unsure::grin:
