Yea I'm going to look into it. It's almost like it can't grab the next gear quick enough.

You can manually bump up shift pressure on the Sct. "3-5 shift pressure" under adjustments I think. +20% is as high as you can go. The direct drive solenoids do wear out over time though, Steve@absolute performance has a nice upgraded DD solenoid for $150.

I've also heard some things about a later updated tcm flash from ford helping the earlier trucks like we have.

I completely forgot I could do that lol. I'll try that next time it goes in the race tune an if if doesn't help I'll look into te solenoids because it shouldn't do that. I only have maybe 2000-2500 miles on the trans so it shouldn't be worn out, I'm pretty sure we replaced them when it was down at suncoast.

Yeah I'd be careful man. With the power your making you could smoke a direct clutch in a hurry. Most trucks "flare" on the 3-5 shift. I bet you're blowing through the flare stage and just hitting the rev limiter. At least you have that pass under your belt. I'd love to have a truck to run 11.90 index at the nhrda events. On fuel to boot!

So I wanna go faster already..... How much would I pick up if I went from a 75/83/.90 to a 75/87/1.0?

Seems to clean the fuel up good as is.

Idk if it was because it was dark but it does have plenty of fuel left over.

What's been done to your 475? I'm sure James could work with it. Or pm the guys at mpd, I think whitey was on a single 475 for a little while.

Small shot lol. I don't think there is going to be enough in the wheel to make a difference at this point.

That's awesome. No I can't say much. I won't put juice on my truck as it is currently the only vehicle I have and the vehicle that runs my business. But one day.

I emailed IDP he said the reason why I hit the limiter is because I'm pushing the limit of the trans and it's hard fr it to keep up with shifting at high rpms. He said pumping up the pressure may not help and if not he will re work the trans tune to shift off mph.

Awesome runs!!! Stay off the spray and enjoy it for a while

Thank you! Yea I have no desire to spray it anytime soon lol I want it to stay together. One question What size 75 are you running in the truck that was at rudys?

Jwarren · Apr 21, 2014

Bullseye 475 87/80 .90 turbine. That turbo was around for a few years sold it and had the chance to buy it back.
Long story short I lost lpop gears a few weeks back and it went out. Bill upgraded it to the new TCT.

You will gain from 87 turbine IMO
