Headed up to Brenspeed in the morning to try and get my shifting schedule worked out after installing the 4:10's. Planning on getting a good set of spark plugs, a sweatshirt for the up coming winter and maybe a 160 degree thermostat if they think it is okay for me to run. My car runs at 195-200 degrees in this weather the last month or so. Seems too **** hot to me. I would like to see it run 180-185. We will see what they say about it. Also want to check out the 302 forged block they are now building.

Good luck Scott. Seems to me I remember adjusting the fans with m tuner to help keep my 06 running cooler than normal...... But it's been almost two years already.

Yeah I read a thread about that. I am really not into adjusting my own **** I guess because I really have no data on which to make any decisions. They do.. so I will put the question into their capable hands.

I adjusted mine with the tuner and my temps never get to 175 - 180

x'2 I never get the email notifications, then out of the blue I got one today, wtf!

3 pages behind.

I hardly have driven my stang all Spring/Summer. Maybe 1500 miles.
Did take it out of "storage" today, spray detailed, rain X, and a quick wax as I am driving 170 miles West into bugland country Saturday.
Yeah, bad idea at dusk, I got nailed by the mosquito's. Bad thing living across from a forest preserve.

Where the hell are you? Doesn't take that long to drive to Brenspeed unless you are getting a new 302 installed

Well, wife and I went to Brenspeed yesterday and Brent fixed all of the shifting issues. He got his lap top and took the car out for about 45 minutes. Said he made 4-5 tweeks to the trans shifting schedule. Good news is that the shifting is spot on now like I want. But on the way home I have developed other issues that he doesn't know about yet. I am getting a check engine light for the O2 sensors being slow to warm. Also, the car now has throttle lag that it did not have before. He asked me if I had cleaned my throttle body lately now I know why. Also the car just seems flat to me up to about 2700 rpm either from sitting still or just cruising. Definitely wasn't that way on the way up with the other tune. It's lost it's snappyness. I called Doug at Brenspeed this morning and told him about everything it is now doing. They are going to look in to it. Also drove thru Decatar about 1:00pm. Didn't see Lance anywhere.

I have had the slow to warm code ever since i got my longtubes/prochamber installed. Brent made an adjustment but it still does it. He said he probably won't be able to tune it out so he just turned off the check engine light entirely..

I also have a tillman all-out tune that keeps the light enabled and I never get the code.

Update....received an updated email tune tonight and uploaded it, and put it in the car. All I can say at this point is that the throttle response when you rev it at at idle is back to what I had. I will drive it to work in the morning and see what the new tune does............film at 11:00 so they say!!
