Same here, When I'm driving around 25-30 mph sometimes it'll kick down and take off but then sometimes it just stays stuck in second and drags it's feet until it gets revved up higher in the gear. I actually thought the torque management was causing it and bought the Predator hoping it would help but it's still doing it sometimes.

i've never had this problem, what does tow haul do with the predator tune i've never tried it. And have you done any tuning yourself? I just put the stock program in and it was just fine. Have you gone to the track yet with your 3/4 blwn95z?

I tried there tuning but didnt care for it so I did my tunning but neither one of them down shifted like it should. It did this in stock trim to.And no I dont drive around in tow/haul mode, I was just noticing it will down shift more in that mode.I have not taken the truck to the track its the every day driver that tows the race car I just like looking at the faces of the mustangs and imports when they cant loose you or your infront of them. I did the tb bypass, custom slowmaster exhaust, mac intake,Predator,160 stat, and exterior things.

yeah no kidding, you should have saw the dude with the TRD supercharged 4 runner I beat at the track, he looked so salty on the return road didn't even look at me. These trucks with our simple mods can take most ricers and mustangs to the 330 mark but the aerodynamics and hp make it a struggle in the top end. Do you guys run in 4wd at the track or when street racing?
