SVX Straight line performance

[longassname]

Are you going to pumpkin carve? You should try driving a car with one of my valve bodies if you can get to an event where there is one. With a stock transmission there is a lot of time wasted during the shifts. With my valve bodies the shifts are instantaneous.

Air/fuel ratio was set at 13.0 to 13.5.....everything was right. 60ft time was in the 2.2 range. Not great but could be worse. Trap speed was around 91mph. wtf!!! It's what it is.

What takes the wind out of my sails is that I got a 2010 Toyota RAV4 sport V6 AWD yesterday. Stock, this SUV runs 14.8 @ 99mph according to Motorweek. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gLCA_BhgO4 Gonna play with that vehicle for a little bit. Only has 10 miles on it. I'm ripped right now (drinking). Off to bed...l8rs......

Thats a good idea. There is bound to be some body with a Quick Change there, they may let you check out the difference, for the price.

Well The Pumpkin Carve was Friday night, Saturday and Sunday, and only NOW do I get to see this!


Hocrest, Something Else and "John"
(one of Something Else's friends)
got to drive my currently NA 4.44 Claret with two of LAN's tranny mods.
The valve body and his trans chip with the 7200/6500 shift points.
The only person that had a QC here would have been redlightningsvx and He left early,

without saying goodby, you SLUT!

Maybe Dave, Eric, or "John" will pipe up about the LAN valve body and the chip.

Right now, after seven hours sleep in about two, three daze?!, I'll snooze now untill my 2002 SC Suburban Guy shows up at 11:00 tonight........
TOMZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzz

This is me piping up!

I did not get a chance to really put the smack down on Toms' throttle pedal because its not my car and it was cold when I drove it..the shifting was...indescribable...It was like the car was not shifting at all...I almost had trouble keeping up with what gear I was in by listening to the rpm's...

There is virtually no delay in shifting...and dont get the wrong Idea..its not like a "BANG" (hey I just shifted how does your neck feel now?) type of shift ...its more like a very very swift glide into the next gear...and with the chip in the TCU it kept the rpms in the power band by not shifting too early or not to late made the car feel so right.

I dont think I passed the %50 mark of throttle input, never had to. The car just moved so effortlessly up and down all of the hills in WV.

I have owned several different gear ratios 3.54,3.70,3.90,4.44. If you live in a hilly area, or do less highway than city driving...the 4.44 rebuilt from lan, or just the valve body, are by far the best automatic transmission mods for the SVX that I have driven imho...personally...I think 3.90 is the most versatile and well balanced.

The TCU chip is the icing on the cake. It keeps the RPMS at optimal levels, or whatever you specify to Lan, It will absolutely save you MPG's. The car moves quicker with less throttle input, no question about it.

I never got a chance to drive the quick change. Tom if you want to send it to me I can install it in Johns "virgin" SVX...I will gladly give my input on that as well he eventually wants to do a 5 speed swap so youll get it back...unless I like it

I just now seen this I looked for you and everyone else before I left to say goodbye but the only person who was still there was Rebecca and she was on track duty. I was soaked and didn't want to get sick again after just coming off of a cold.

Any idea what i should expect with my mods? I'd really like to see 15.5 butt we shall see.
