[quote=ak_cowboy;632130]I wouldn't change any of the standard settings till you run a couple tanks on level 3 and see the difference. I run my shift firmness at +7 for all 3 shifts, though some guys run up to +12.
I've advanced my timing to 1.5 and it seems to be running stronger, but I haven't had it long enough to notice any mpg gain.
Ok thanks, I'll run a couple tanks and try it out. When you adjust the shift firmness will it make the transmission shift hard and give a slight jerk or what? I also have a CAI and exhaust on mine. By changing the timing, it will not damage anything will it? I have read that people have experienced a slight knocking when they adjusted the timing. And is there anyway to turn the torque control off or lower it? I want to lay some drag when I stomp the gas. And i'm having trouble doing that now when i'm pushing 35's.

I run my shift firmness at +20 it shifts hard but its not jerky. If you adjust the timing correctly you shouldn't damage it. Take it in small increments +.25 on up still you like it or you get the pinging and then turn it down. can't turnthe torque of but you can adjust it by the shift lock and unlock. Also helps if you run higher octane, maybe a regear to 4.10 will help you too.

Ok man i'll try that.. I'm switching to premium with the next take of gas. I'm not going to alter the shift firmness or the timing until I run a couple of tanks through it. I am considering re-gearing also, because I am currently running a 3.73 ls and I'm not liking it. Have you ran the 0-60 test after adjusting your timing and stuff? if so could you tell me your quickest time? thanks

ok man, thanks.. i'm looking forward to finding out. The fastest i have gotten is 7.51 secs, but that is only in stage 1 burning 87 octane and I have 35" tires. so i'm sure you'll be in the low 7's atleast.

so i posted a question about if you guys open your plug gap when advancing your timing. About 2 weeks ago i changed my diff fluid,cleaned my air filter/maf and change my plugs to motocraft plats.gapped at .55 like the chiltons said. well my mpg dropped from 18-19 to 12-14 at most. i do most highway driving since i live in the desert. so i switched my plugs to autolite double plats gapped at .60 and boom im at 19-20 on the highway. i switched the gap back to .60 cause i looked at the ones i pulled (were in the truck when i bought it) and they were at .60. i have mine at level 2 ,2741mm for the tires and 3.55 gears and level 4 on all shift firmness.
i got a 06 screw on 35s 3.55 gears and 4.6. just a k&n drop in and that gotts mod you guys call it.
so i would say maybe some of you might want to open your gap up a bit.
my next tank full i will advance the timing 1 degree

Do you think it might have been motorcraft vs autolite plugs? Instead of the gapping?

Ok, so the stock gap is 0.60 but chiltons said to gap at 0.55?
You're probably getting such good highway mileage because you're overall gearing is so low and you have the little V8. What are your rpms at 60? I'm spinning 2k with 4.10s and 31s.
