    What track? With the temps that low, it is going to be hard to hook up. Times could range anywhere from 13.50s' to 14.50's really.



    ps...As for your postcount not changing, they only add up when you post in Tech, not Talk.

    ya i knew that hooking up would be a big problem for me since i still run 245s out back:notnice: but atleast i got the wheel spacers to make it look a little better from the back:nice:. the track is always really sticky so that should help

    Yeah I would be happy if you break into the 13's. Just depends on traction I guess

    On the 99+ 4R70W Transmisson the J-Mod is very easy !
    J-Mod is a mod to the Valve Body of the transmission !
    Its drilling out six holes in the separator plate and removing two springs in the trans !
    It sounds harder then it really is , the worst part is how messy it can be , it was for me I got Trans fluid everywhere !

    This is the same info I used to do my Trans , go to page two to get step by step !

    J-Mod updates! - MercuryMarauder.net Forums

    As for the O/D? , Daily Driven I leave the o/d OFF under 45 , the weakest gear in the 4R70W Trans is 4th , this is because its not realy a gear its a belt , so get your stang up to speed with the stronger gears 1-3 , then put it in O/D , this is so NO load is on the belt getting you stang up to speed , extending the life of your trans , also never Shift from 3 to O/D at full throttle , with the stock gears this is at about 128MPH , very bad for you O/D Belt !

    For the Track , off

    What's the pedal mod? Is that to take out the throttle cable slack? If it is you may want to check how much tension is on the cable with someone pushing the pedal to the floor. Too much and it'll snap.
