                • I drove it about 55 miles today. Came back and noticed one of my primary's wasn't blue (from the heat) I crawled under and noticed the plug wire was popped off the opti.

                  I popped it back on and drove a few more miles. Seemed a bit smoother.

                  It seem like it had a hard time find what gear it wanted to be in. Also when I gave it WOT it wouldn't get near red line. It shifted around 4500 (stock tach).

                  Other than that, no leaks, no funky smells, cruised on the highway around 70-75 the best. It seems like the lOckup on the stall is around 40-50. The rpms jump ups and down. Then it's good after 50mph.

                  • I dropped the car off to the trans guy to get the park issue fixed. Also have home drive it and see why I'm only at ~1000-1200 rpms cruising at any speed. Hope he gets it resolved.

                    • Who doesn't like good news!?!?

                      He said my rpms are so low during cruising on account of my stock 2.73's :emb:

                      He fixed my park issue (dont ask how, I'll see what it was tomorrow)

                      Tomorrow after work he is going to adjust my dropdown.

                      So, I need a set of 3.73's. He said he can install them. What brand do you guys suggest?

                      I'm a happy camper

                      • 2.73's? Geez, that thing is gonna feel like a whole different car when you get some gears in it!

                        • How do you like how it drives with the cam?
                          Mines just about the same 228/236 .576/.571 110 LSA from LE also.

                            Currently, so so... I hate cruising at such low rpm. I have to mash the gas just to get out of my own way. Also I need to figure out what springs I need for my governor so I can change my shift points.
