    4.10 but no tranny cooler

    I've had 4.10 for about 20k-30k miles, but no tranny cooler. Could this be causing any damage, especially if I use my car as a daily driver? I don't drive it hard often, as gas is too expensive for that now anyway. Is it safe to drive the car without a tranny cooler as I have? I haven't...

    Idle in neutral and drive - why are they different? Auto trans

    Does anyone know why the idle is higher in neutral than when the car is in drive? My car has an auto trans. I noticed that in my Predator, the neutral idle is around 760rpm while the drive is set around 560rpm (roughly). I'm just wondering, why the difference? Also... I'd love for my...

    Tune with 4.10s in an Auto??

    Man, I hear ya. 100% agreement on that one. I'm going with Injected for a custom tune. He seems very knowledgable about it. I'm really looking forward to it, and I'm the impatient type (or at least, I look forward to stuff a lot and can't WAIT to try it out). So his "day" turn around time...

    Strange shifts! Auto! Advice/comments please.

    Yeah, that is weird. My programmer is up to date. I think it's at a custom tuning point, but I sure would've liked it more if the programmer could fix it without having to pay extra $$$. I know that some autos have some sort of "engage/disengage" mode. I had a Prelude (2002) and it had...

    Strange shifts! Auto! Advice/comments please.

    OK. I may do that just to go extreme and see if the shifts improve or not, then fine tune from there. Setting them all up tends to make it shift hard even when I'm giving it just a little gas. Too bad it doesn't have some sort of "variable shift firmness" where it shifts harder the more gas...

    Strange shifts! Auto! Advice/comments please.

    Guess I can set it up higher and see what happens. I'll let ya know. Thanks guys.

    Strange shifts! Auto! Advice/comments please.

    More info. Yes, I have mine set to: 1-2 = 10 2-3 = 5 3-4 = 5 I set my Torque Modulation to 0% on all, so that i shouldn't have as much 'slip'. This seems to help some. The Torque Converter lockup doesn't sound like the problem if it only occurs at WOT or Overdrive cruising...

    Strange shifts! Auto! Advice/comments please.

    My car sounds like it is shifting more times than it has gears. I'm driving it normally. Giving it more gas makes the car less likely, or eliminates, it doing this. WOT shifts are excellent, it's only partial throttle, or low RPM shifts that this happens. I'm pretty sure the 4.10s are...

    Mac Prochamber w/cats ? Please Help

    I have a MAC cat-back with Magnaflow catted X, and it's definitely louder than when the stock mid pipe was on it. I have a 4.10 rear also, so the drone is loud at 55-60 mph driving, which is where I am most of the time. Nice sounding going down the road!

    Bad Mileage

    I think something is up with those numbers. I have an auto, but I get almost exactly the same numbers city and highway as BooWFO does. I think something is probably wrong somewhere. I haven't come close to losing 10 mpg going from 3.27 to 4.10. I lost maybe 1 MPG.

    Steeda HFAK = Thumbs-Up!

    They usually have shields that block the heat from the engine. I know my FIPK did. Every other one I've seen does too. Plus, air is flowing through there too fast to get hot air from the engine. The fenderwell CAIs are a pain. I prefer a MAC Straightshot over one of those. I think the...

    Aftermarket CD Player

    I guess no one jumped on this one. Would my current speakers work with a new sound system? I know when I replaced my front speakers they did not work with my Mach 460 stereo. I don't know too much about sound, so I wasn't sure if it worked the other way around too, meaning would my mach 460...

    Types of superchargers, also turbos.

    Sounds like good advice. :nice:

    Types of superchargers, also turbos.

    Thanks, the KB is looking good. :) What's the word on the Mongoose kit? What are its downsides vs. upsides? If someone wants to just point me to a link with some information, that could be helpful. I don't want people to have to explain a lot if they don't need to. I'm looking for an...

    Types of superchargers, also turbos.

    My mustang is pretty much stock as far as the engine goes. What would be a good supercharger to get that isn't super expensive? I've heard the Kenne Bell makes more power all the time, but is harder on the bottom end at launch, which wouldn't be good for a stock motor. Other superchargers...

    Lamborghini Doors...

    I think they look good and make sense. I think the doors are cool. Plus, they would save space in parking lots, since they open up. To me, that's a pretty valid reason for having them, and to be honest, I think the way car doors open, plus the way we have to park everywhere, is just plain...

    Exhaust leak, or some other problem?

    Was a leak, and it's now fixed. Well, it was an exhaust leak. The bolts had come untightened a little. Tightened them up on both sides (mostly the right, where the noise was coming from) and now no ticking noise. :nice:

    Aftermarket CD Player

    Will a regular aftermarket CD player work with my Mach 460 sound system by doing the usual install of a harness and the player? Or is more needed? I was looking into getting a Pioneer or Sony player from Wal-Mart or somewhere. I know I'll lose the 6 cd changer (dang!) but I want a cd...

    How Long for Springs to Settle???

    I think my C springs settled in about 3 weeks, but then I put my car on a lift that lets the suspension hang, and it un-settled them, so they had to settle again. I think they are still in the process. The last one to settle is always the right rear one, for some reason.

    Exhaust leak, or some other problem?

    Tell me about it. It's driving me nuts. That's one reason I put the louder MAC on. :) That, plus the killer rolled tips.
