Just installed 4.10s, Accufab TB/Plenum, K/N CAI and custom tune
Well, I finally did it. Took my stang to the speed shop and had a nice upgrade done. FRPP 4.10s, Accufab 70mm TB/Plenum, K/N FIPK CAI and a custom Diablo Predator tune!
Feels like another car. Throttle response is instantaneous, it pulls a lot harder, passing on the highway is very snappy (feels like a manual when downshifted), the rpms on the highway are not that high (55/2200 65/2500) and feels I lot smoother than I expected. I haven'nt gone full throttle yet, I'll do one more day of normal driving. I did puch it like 3/4 from a roll, and it chirped nicely in 2nd, with no fishtailing, so I guess they fixed something on the trak-lock.
Thanks to everyone that recommended the gears!
Congrats on the upgrades! I've never believed in break-in periods, but better safe than sorry!
same here, congrats on the mods! but personally, i believe in the break in period for some things, gears included. as soon as i got mine installed (3.55) i wanted to feel the difference and was able to run my buddy with the 350z on the freeway on the way home from the shop (full throttle). 2 days later...pinion seal started leaking. had to take it back in to replace it. of course, as soon as i got it back the 2nd time, i took it easy the 1st day, let it rest overnight, and "tested" it the following day and its still been problem free.

The best Mom-lady I could have ever asked for
Man, it's running fine! It feels and shifts like a manual (minus the clutch and shifter). Around town it drives much better than stock, and on the highway I can barely notice the higher rpms up to 55 mph (2100-2200). After that I notice it, but it's a lot smoother than expected (2500-2600 at 65) and in O/D you just can set the cruise control and forget about it. Plus if I need to pass someone going 55, I just step on it and it downshifts and goes like a freaking manual!
The only drawback is that now with stock suspension and tires I got no traction. Plus they recommended a tranny cooler (they're cheap, I.m doing it ASAP along with the ATF flush). So it's back to saving again...
DO NOT FEAR THE GEAR, ESPECIALLY ON AN AUTO...
