i think my car should be performing at high 12's.

I WAS reviewing the video and it sounded like 1-2 shift are hitting rev limiter now! before it was just a 2-3 shift.


do you think maybe it's the opti not the tranny since my water pump is covered of oil ?. dam i'm just pissed off! i feel burning that car.

Go

your 60 foot is really bad too with your mods. Tonight I ran a 2.098 60 foot with 2.73 gears, a4, street tires, cai, and exhaust cutout.....so im basically stock. What I found worked the best is just slowly accelerate and then floor it right when your to the point where you wont break the tires loose.

Sounds like you broke the line off the vacuum reservoir for the heat/AC system controls. No biggie.... pull the hose off the passenger side of the intake manifold and put a vacuum cap on the manifold nipple..... at least until you can repair the line.

Also, make sure your shift points and rev limiter are set correctly. My car did exactly what you're describing when I first got it, because the previous owner never took the time to set the PCM for the 3.73 gears.
