Slow Reving? I know that mustangs slowly rev down, it didn't really bother me until i really noticed how bad it was by listening to some other cars.. Is there any way to get rid of this with like a chip or ignition mod? THanks

i was under the asumption that one of those intake spacers would fix that problem. maybe it added to the problem, i've heard not so good things about those things.

It revs down slowly because Ford programmed it to do so. Spacers arent' going to help and an aluminum flywheel will only help a little.

an aluminum flywheel will make it rev like a ricer, and you will see more RPM drop between shifts. I think it would help a lot...

I believe it can be programed out... I mean why couldn't it? An aluminum flywheel would also help out... It will also decrease your rotating mass which means more power to the rear tires

You do not have a flywheel in an auto.

How does the power from the engine get anywhere without a flywheel?

You have a flexplate, not a flywheel... Basically the same thing, but for an automatic transmission.
