good stuff Danno! Good to see your beast back on the road. You'll have to take me for a spin some time!! sounds

Hey Danno,

My box has been in for a little while now, basically the same as yours, and I agree with everything you mention, its great fun to drive, and its not what you'd call harsh (cept maybe the shift into 2nd). Mines got 271rwkws now to go with the box and im struggling on this set of rear tyres. Actually they are rooted.

When you stall it up what happens?

What is it like performance wise, if you just hit WOT without stalling up - not so good?

Also, how does it run in peak hour traffic, slow driving?

performance wise is great, like I said it feels like someone has all of a sudden given me another 30rwkw or something!

I can stand on it anythime and it revs up quick , but the speed is what makes it such a killer on the road.

In traffic, left in normal drive, its fine, there's a bit of a bump between gears, but I think the tranzmax has softened this more than some guys using dextron 3.

The only real thing to get used to is that at about 80km/h in normal drive, 4th gear at 1400rpm or so, if you want to increase it just a little to say 100km/h, I just cant squeeze the pedal down as hard as I used to or it will wind up rpm and boost so quick you will be at the 120km mark before you know it.

Just something to get used to, but its amazing how drivable everyday this thing is. Better than I expected, that's for sure.

My Falken 451's will be rooted in no time, believe me.

The bump into second is harder than the rest at slower speeds, but not bad.

The best thing is the big bump with a manual change at 6000rpm from 2nd to 3rd, that's what I was missing before. Over 150km/h (on a private test track for sure ) its ten times better.

Im hoping to get it down for the Vic weekend in june to see what it can do. I was so jealous of everyone last time you guys were at Calder and My ute was at home in bits!

Have you had the Edit re calibrated yet? I'm not sure but isn't there an RPM function with the line pressure, as well as the 'Drive/performance' line pressure function?

If there is, you possibly could have it setup in such a way that if the computer deems the throttle position is low enough to change before 3000rpm, it will shift softly and smoothly... But as soon as you attempt to kick the firewall out, snap, the gearbox turns feral on you (which is always fun).

Anyways, let us know how you go with the setup.

Nice theory mate, but I dont think there is an rpm function that can adjust shift pressures in accordance with RPM. Im not 100%, but I dont think so.

My gearbox actually shifts harder under more acceleration due to the physical modification, and since my software is set at factory, there is no increase of line pressure via software at this stage. If I did I think it would feel like the ute body might twist off the chassis every change!
