as a general rule you want to be able to load your torque convertor up to the revs that your engine is starting to produce torque and hp. if your engine starts to make its power at 3500RPM, then that is where you need to be able to load your torque convertor up to. the higher your power comes in, the higher RPM torque convertor you require

would also suggest fitting a shift kit, causes the auto to shift a little harsher between changes but takes the sluggish response out of the shift change. not sure how you can buy them now but you use to be able to get them in stage 1; stage 2; stage 3 and full manual shift. the higher the stage, the harsher the shift and can make general smoothness of your changes driving around town a little unpleasent.

you may find a remarkable increase in your quater mile times by these changes. any reputable high performance auto rebuilder should be able to design what you want if you take in your dyno sheats of your hp and torque readings.

hope this helps.

Yeah thanks i have got a stage 2 shift kit and Transmission cooler, I'm very happy with the shifts it's just getting it off the line that's killing my overall time it either Bogs down or Spins if i load it up against the torque converter it hesitated then it goes.

My ecu's and some accesories got stolen on the weekend so i have decided i'm going to give the emanage ultimate a shot so i will see how that goes even though i think with my old setup if i got a good 60ft and got it moving off the line i should have ran a high 12.

    • Nah it factory manual not sure about ratio but it looks like there’s been some work at the rear 
    • so I need a new speedo cable 
    • Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?
    • Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)
    • +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
