MelC Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Welcome Robert, Glad to hear from a fellow Ecobooster from SoCal. Happy you made it here!! Just to answer your PM from another forum...no I do not have any shifting problems with stage 3. I like the fact that the transmission is more responsive than stock. The only time I get a thump (or what I consider a harsh shift) is when I step on the gas but let go just before the tranny shifts. I do not perceive it as an issue because I get the same response on my other auto shifting vehicles (Japanese and European). I am located in the Chino Hills area. Where abouts in SoCal are you located? Again...welcome aboard!! Mel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjhpadi Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 :welcome: Glad you made it here, you'll like this place. And if you are thinking of upgrading to a higher Stage tune, go for Stage 4+. It is simply outstanding and many of us are running it in every day use. But we all use 93 octane fuel...some even higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpd1151 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 And you didn't specify 93 prior to handing the keys over Bob? Really? *SMH* :doh: ***This post sent from my DROID3 using the 'Tapatalk' App*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(May have to de-tune... which means changing the 3-Bar MAPv to the 2-Bar MAPv. Just drive it easy for a tank. We had an 800 RWHP 2005 Mustang tuned for 100+ octane and I used to drive it to shows and cruises with 93 octane. I just made sure to stay out of boost. -Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have race gas available at a 76 gas station pretty close to me, but it is $7+ a gallon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSHO Posted February 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Nice to know there are still performance vehicles in CAL... I thought they had outlawed every vehicle that is non-electric! I also have a CNG powered Crown Victoria that I use for daily commute. Gets me in the carpool lane with only one person. It is the only good thing about driving that couch on wheels. Although I do drive a CVPI every day at work anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
