I finished up my OME UCAs and Delphi Sway Bar Endlinks project today. The PO on my truck installed the lift kit and it never felt right. The truck felt unsettled and darty with a lack of self aligning torque in the steering wheel. I read about the aftermarket UCAs for correcting caster and...

I am getting the same result.

So the thesis is that the delay is happening at the pedal and not at the ECU?

Maybe I am not very imaginative... This device can only change what pedal position is reported to the ECU. You can only report a maximum of 100% throttle on the ECU's input. How is it going to do anything my right foot can't already do?

So if I install this device it will reduce my 0-60 times?

If I apply 100% throttle, how does this device help me accelerate faster?

Truth be told I have a bit of a chip on my shoulder. To me the V8 over V6 attitudes reek of non-turbo, non-M, non-track pack, your-car-is-worthless-unless-it-is-the-top-trim pretentiousness. People seem to frame this decision like it is 240hp 1GR vs 381hp 3UR, that isn't close to reality. I see...

My suggested four step plan: 1. Find the cleanest one with the most complete records that your schedule allows for. Ask yourself going into it if you feel like you could easily turn around and sell it for what you are paying for it. If you aren't towing consider the V6; from a maintenance...

Making the world a better place.

Well this thread got way more interesting that I was hoping for, awesome! Thank you everyone. I am looking at Dobinson's per the recommendations. Thank you for the info JONBOY345, that perfectly explains what I am experiencing; keep my piston speeds below the knee point, otherwise I might as...

I get the concept but how does that functionally work? Transmission output > Factory Radiator Cooler > Aux Cooler > Transmission Input? What happens if the Aux cooler bypasses until temps are sufficient then as fluid pressure is applied a gelled slug of coolant gets pushed out of the cooler...

Hi All, I bought my truck with a Toytec/Bilstein 5100 lift kit (3" I think) and Goodyear 285/70R17 tires. I like the look but functionally this suspension is not working for me. I have had a look around and there appears to be a dizzying array of choices, most of them appear to be aimed at the...

My operating range is 1,100'-9,000', haven't had it down to sea level (yet!). Between 1.1k and 9k? very significant difference in power output. Online calcs say 55-65hp difference and I believe it. I feel like I should also state I am running 91 octane fuel. - At sea level I feel there is...

Looking good! What size tires have you got on there? Any rub?

The 4L is not under-powered. That is coming from a guy on 33s that sometimes drives at 9,000 feet. My previous car was a 450hp 15' Mustang GT. I have an idea of what actual power is. If there is any weak link in the system it is the transmission being hellbent on getting to 5th gear as...
