i might add that this was my FIRST time ever going down the track, i launched the car at 1000-1500 rpm, i have a 2000 stall (need bigger) and it also wouldnt shift i have no dought it would have gotten high to mid 11, givin more practice

 

what kind of gears at the rear? by looking at the time it looks like u were still pulling hard at the end. whats the limiter set at?

 

gears are stock i want some 3:73's, rev the shift light comes on at 6 the limiter is at 6300

 

I dont want you to feel too bad so I'll just let you know, I am disappointed in you too. there see, you arent alone. those seem like decent numbers to me. I am pretty sure they are better than I can do.

 

do the tune. ull be happy even if its not the problem. pcmforless is a good place. just got one there took two days to get it after i got them all the info on the car. u can redo for 6 months. so that would give u time for the gears if thats the problem and if not u wont have to commit the money to gears until u find the issue with the shift.

 

Is there a reason you have a shift light with an a4? As far as I know you can't even swap a 4l60 to a manual valve body.

You need a bigger stall. Must have one baby cam with that small of a stall, unless you're on the gas constantly while at a stop I'd figure the car would surge a ton. Mine did a little with a 3600 in it....

 

i thought the shift light was kinda weird also but the redline perf shop put it in not me, and it has a ms4 cam

 

i plan on getting it dyno tuned once i sell my beater....im gonna change the tranny fluid and filter soon maybe that might be it but who knows...

 

I'd get it on a dyno with a good tuner. MS4 is a big cam for no tune. I know, I ran an MS3 like that for a couple days and the car had a hard time idling for sure. Definately wasn't race ready.

I had this same issue with mine. Mine would only shift at certain times. It really pissed me off. That's when I went to a proshifted tranny, and then the TH400 finally. But I'm 100% sure it's a tune issue. I wish I would have known what I know now. Would have saved me a ton of $ from doing all that swapping out stuff.

 

well i finally got my car on a dyno and i will say im dissapointed again, redline told me the car was a head and cam car well on the dyno it put up 350 whp 330 tq, yeah my car is not as bada$$ as i thought it was, what would be a good set of heads to put on it?? cam (ms4)
