    Shouldnt it lockup after 1st? On a different note I know a chevy guy who always calls his transmission a 3 speed with a lock up that make it like a 4 speed. I always roll my eyes to that crap.

    Accelerate faster with O/D off??

    Why would ford do that? Timing wont change fuel burn just when it happends. Why restrict timing when OD is on, its not like an old fashion overdrive unit which will turn ur 3 speed auto into a 6 speed auto. Still those things were beasts so I have no idea why anyone would want to do that...

    Thanks for the respect. Heres a more detailed explanation from myself. Gears will Increase RPM which increases the feet per min the piston travels and the ammount of times the piston slams to a stop. But with modern day motors and synthic oils wear is extremly low on frictional components...

    Best mod for $299?

    I highly dought moding a car with bolt ons will hurt your car. In fact gears will improve engine life becuase your motor doesnt have to work hard(less stress). My father has owned 2 covettes and now an M3, he doesnt race. Your think most people who buy gears or speed parts buy them because they...

    Best mod for $299?

    Whats the best tuner then? I dont race, I just want more performance. Why do people buy cobras and vettes? Well not because they race but because they want a fast performance car. If I dont race then maybe I should trade my car in for a kia.

    Gears are a def, my problem is gears require a speedcal or something like it, thats why the diablo tuner sound good. I dont want to buy a speed cal then get a tuner.

    Best mod for $299?

    Will I feel the difference with a Diablo tuner? And if I run unlead 100 octain with there be more power then 93? I figure at 100 you could raise the timing more and lean the engine out for more power.

    Best mod for $299?

    There are alot of mods out there that are at or under the three hundred dollar mark. You can get a Diablo tuner, C&L Plenum with 75mm TB, Pullys, Cold air Intakes and thats were it drops off. All of these are easy to do and dont require labor. So what is the best HP mod for three hundred dollars?
