Late RPM shift points
I have my 3 speed shift points set quite late in the RPM band. How much acceleration will I miss out on, if my shift points are too high? I have the LRP .28, and the 3speed, with 16/49 or 47 gearing, and I can't touch my friends F4.6 stock gearing. He smashes me, not to mention I have a JP-3 pipe. My truck is a slug.

RE: Late RPM shift points
WOW something is seriously wrong with your setup then. My sons savage has teh f4.6 adn Im running the LRp with the stock HPI polished and he cant touch me. Mine is running rich also with his tuned to peak performance. He can also keep right with my Brother inlaws MGT8.0. The f4.6 is a nice sleeper but its no lrp. Do you know what temps you are running? What kind of filter are you running?

RE: Late RPM shift points
I did the same thing with my P3. It was way past peak when it shifted. I do not know if that was the whole story, but I am two speeding again now. I was screaming across the prairie and she coasted to a stop... My other Picco was blowing it away on acceleration and it was shifting early, real early, most of the time you never heard 1-2. BB

RE: Late RPM shift points
I've adjusted my 1-2 shift about 2 turns out from where I had it, so I'll give it a try tomorrow and let you guys know if it's any faster. I hope so, because so far this LRP seems to be quite sluggish.. When Skinner bought his brand new F4.6 truck, there was no contest acceleration wise, and his truck only had 1/2 a liter through it.
