and his lengthy reply to me was one word




yes

Re: IHRA Pure Stock Trans question (Rules)
 

Truthfully, it may be a disadvantage to do it, considering everything can be controlled through the computer, I just want one less thing to tune, lol.

Re: IHRA Pure Stock Trans question (Rules)
 

Interesting response, I would have thought he would have said no. For on track consistency, I would think you would want to keep the tune in the controller. Good Luck !

Re: IHRA Pure Stock Trans question (Rules)
 

Wow, you never know unless you ask I guess. Good to know. I guess you're putting in an aftermarket shifter ?

Re: IHRA Pure Stock Trans question (Rules)
 

And I may keep it, but at least I now know what my options are. And truthfully, on a Ford, a mvb is not far away from just being a shift kit.

Re: IHRA Pure Stock Trans question (Rules)
 

Yes, I was going to do that anyway. Already have the B&M linkage kit mounted in the trans

Re: IHRA Pure Stock Trans question (Rules)
 

I installed a Baumann AODE shift kit in my 95 GT and what a difference it made.

That trans shifts dead on the same point every run now.
Of course I am using a stock converter so I do not know if that makes any difference, but I am very pleased with that AODE.

Now that I know that a MVB is legal in PS, that opens up more possibilities.

Alan, have you tried adjusting shift points and line pressure in your tune? I am still on the fence of doing a manual valve body, or using the computer. The Bauman kit is probably the best bolt in "shift kit" for these trannies, and they make a great aftermarket controller also, but if I am going to stay computer controlled, I will used the tried and true "Jerry-Mod" on the valvebody. I actually have all of the J-Mod upgrades sitting here ready to put in the trans, and the Moates Quarterhorse and Binary Editor I'm using for tuning will change any shift function I want it too, so I may just go that way first and see how it acts.
Next step for me is to plop down the $1000 for a multi disc lock up convertor......

Tony:
I have a 100% factory tune in my car. I have never hooked up anything to the factory ecu.
After I installed the Baumann kit it now shifts @ 5200 every run.
Plus, I can still manually shift it if I want. ( at any rpm)
I just need a ratchet shifter to make it safer to hit the gears.

In a some what related note (or maybe it's not)..this is what I found out about the 94-95 Mustangs.

You might want to check your throttle body opening with the gas pedal all the way to the floor.

My TB would not open up 100% until I removed the carpet and sound deadener under the pedal.

Before, it was like 90 % opened and my car was inconsistent.
I removed the carpet under it and now it's 100% opened every time I stab the pedal. :)

Whether or not having inconsistent throttle blade openings affected the shift points I do not know, but I feel confident having the blade opened 100% every run has helped the computer in regards to the electronic shift points.

Re: IHRA Pure Stock Trans question (Rules)
 

Great info! While checking, did you check your TPS sensor to make certain it was set correctly?
Time for you to grab a tuner for that thing, lol.
