OK, I have posted this a couple of places, but just looking for plenty of input on this. And, yes, I know the MM and CV have completely different motors, but the MM will bang WOT shift all the time, but the CVPI seems like it is trying to pull as much RPM as the MM, but is running out of breath before it ever shifts.
Anyway, here it is:
OK, I have not really wanted to ask this as I don't know if I want to know the answer or not, but my car does not seem to want to make the 1-2 shift at WOT.
Now, I don't have a tach to check this against, but when going WOT the car never seems to want to shift. Maybe I am too chicken to hold in the gas much further, but the car isn't really pulling any more at the rpm it will get to.
Now, if I let off the gas slightly it will shift just fine and can go WOT again without a downshift. It's just that it doesn't seem to want to do the 1-2 shift at WOT. The car actually feels faster and shifts better at like 3/4 throttle.
Anything to check? Something to start worrying about? Or something that can/will be tuned out with the new XCal2.
The tranny, to my knowledge, is bone stock with 110,000+ miles on it. Car seems to hunt at times around the 30-40mph. by hunt I mean doesn't seem to know which gear it wants to be in. Has done that since I got the car. I had a tranny flush done on it last week and it seems to be running and shifting smoother, but still seems like it does not want to shift at WOT.
Shoot, the Marauder will pull to 6500 rpm and not run out of breath and still shift hard at WOT on the 1-2 and 2-3, but that is with Lidio's tune and 4.10 gears. But at least it will shift. The CVPI just doesn't seem like it wants to shift.
Any and all input appreciated.
Thanks.
