Need help...

Okay here are my 'problems'

1) last year my car toped out at 240km/h, this year I couldn't get it past 220km/h.
2) Once and a while if I drive my car in OD and then accelerate, it will hesitate and make a popping sound on the left side.
3) I just took it for a cruise and got it to 180km/h in OD and at 5000rpm it still wouldn't shift into high gear.

Now something is wrong and its pissing me off. Since my 240km/h run last year I put a Hypertech Chip in the car, and added 17inch eagle alloy wheels and kuhmo tires.
What is my problem and how do I fix it?

Conversions:
240 km/h = 149.1 MPH
220 km/h = 136.7 MPH
180 km/h = 111.8 MPH

Re: Need help...

Yeah I know its fast but I was expecting it to go at least 240km/h this year or maybe even more, but I really want to know why its popping and not shifting, to me it doesnt seem very good, like something is majorly wrong but I dont know what.

I wished I could have added more to the thread before. Honestly top speed is somthing that I have never measured in my car. I have never had the opportunity (legally) to do this.

2) Once and a while if I drive my car in OD and then accelerate, it will hesitate and make a popping sound on the left side.
The popping could be trans mounts. May want to check.

Re: Need help...

It doesnt sound like a mount, it sounds more like ignition but Im not to sure, so I wondered if it was something anyone had come across before.
As for top speed, when you live in a big flat unpopulated area like I do, there are lots of places to find out how fast your car goes.

Re: Need help...

Have you changed your plugs and wires?

On the not shifting,you need to check the TV cable adjustment as your 93 is a 700R4 not the electronic 4L60E

Re: Need help...

Hmm wierd, I drove it into school today and on my way home decided to mat it and it pulled fine and shifted fine.
I still think Iam going to change the plugs and wires.
Why do you say take the chip out, do they go bad or something?

Re: Need help...

Oh and about the tires, there the same size as the tires I got when I bought the car, but they weren't stock size. I matched my new tires to the old tires that were on the car and that is when it worked the best so I dont think tires have made a difference. They are same heighth and width and all that. Maybe a little softer compound.
