Mustang 5.0 kill

slowprocess - I noticed that you are using the Superchips programmer and I was wondering what shift point settings do you use, along with the shift firmness?
Another thing I have to ask you about the Superchips programmer. Do your shifts feel jerky at all or do they kind of blend together? Because I had a problem with mine not to lond ago and I sent it back to Superchips to fix. Well I got it back last week and when I loaded it onto my truck, the shifts seemed to hesitate and blend together quite a bit. They weren't real jerky like when I first programed my truck. Right now I can really feel the 1-2 shift because that one is kind of jerky but the 2-3 & 3-4 shifts kind of blend together. Sorry so long.

I didn't really fine tune anything, I just basically programmed it usnig the maximum performance setting. As far as the shifts go, the only time it is extremely rough is if I'm in tow/haul. Other than that, the shifts are pretty smooth. The only problem I ever had with the programmer was when I first installed in on my truck. It gave me a message that it had to be updated, so I sent it back to superchips. They sent it back and it has performed perfectly ever since.

Since you asked, I decided to go play around with my tuner. I don't know if its a different model than yours(mine is a micro tuner 2001), but it wouldn't give me any option of shift points or any fine tuning whatsoever. Does anybody know why, or do I just have an outdated tuner? The only options I had was to increase the shift firmness and tire/gear size. It also let me program for z-rated tires. This lack of fine tuning kinda makes me mad.

The part number on my programmer is 2275. I guess its the older model. Yeah, I was pretty siked about that kill. I told him to go "fix" the problem and we would do it again.

Cleveland is 90 miles south on hwy 61,a straight flat 4 lane,I don't get that far south unless I'm in my Pete.I'd have to hook a chain to drag anything in it.
They are having a 6 sec. street car shotout at Memphis Motorsports this weekend that should be worth the drive.Are you considering the Thunder in La.next month?I think about a dozen guy's from this area are going,trucks and f-bodys.Baton Rouge is only about 6 hours south.
Jim ps.Damn goodlookin truck.I'm running an ext.cab with exhaust work and a hypertech tunner.
