Slower at WOT...
Re: Slower at WOT...
3200lbs is way off the car is closer to 2500 depending on options and what not. Also our power band does not go to 7k it goes to 6500 so your shifting is fine. shifting at 6700 could actually be better to keep you in the power band. show some pics of under your hood. by the vid I didnt really see that it was very slow but Its hard to judge, if you have the accordian style intake system that is notorious for leaks. pull the codes on your car as well and see what you get that will tell you alot...

Re: Slower at WOT...
Did you try spraying parts cleaner, or something? It's the sure way to tell if there's a leak.

Re: Slower at WOT...
I usally don't listen to people when they tell me to shift at this rpm, or that rpm. I've been around cars and tinkered with them long enough to know when my car's power curve drops. Thanks for clearing up the weight of these cars for me and him. When I read 3,200... I was like "WTF?!". Thank goodness he was wrong.
I'll try the tb cleaner spray or whatever it is. I recently just took off my filter because it was just hanging. The clamps split the rubber on it, so I pulled it off. Of course that has nothing to do with it, plus it's been having this problem way before that, so...
I'll take some more video of my car, Just for you guys to have a all around view and what-not....

Re: Slower at WOT...
Ack.. Oh yeah!
For some reason, When I put the vid on my computer... It says, ".MOV "
I'm guessing ... .MOV isnt the right video file for windows media player. why did it just start doing this lately, and how can i change it so I can let you guys see the videos?

It almost sounds like some bearings are toast on a pully/tensioner somewhere.

Re: Slower at WOT...
Now that you say that.. Thats exactly what it sounds like. Cause I hear it more when I'm by the pullies. Oh well... That will be taken care of when I get the KLZE BEAST!!!

Re: Slower at WOT...
Haha! I guess that's one way to solve the problem. The ONLY reason I had that idea was because the pulleys on my T-bird sound like that, lol.
