4Runner Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 When you guys race with the stock tune when do you let it shift? When I raced at my local track it ran a 16.01 in drive. After that I found the truck is way fast going threw the gears and shifting at 5800-6000 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLOWN SS/T Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Just leave it in drive or some people put it in 3rd so it won't go into OD. I think it'd be tough to get an auto to shift faster then what the PCM can. I'd just leave it in gear and let the computer do its job.

GI.SS Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 You would be surprised how much a tune will do. Like said above and a tune and watch the time get much quicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good tune can put you 15.6 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadianVRss Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 16.0 is normal, he's probably running at 2000 feet or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4Runner Posted January 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 I'm actually 4200 at my local track. It just seems so much fast putting it in second and not shifting tell 5800+. I can't say for sure because the track is closed for atleast 3 more months Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003_SuperSport Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 I have always heard never manual shift as the CPU is designed to shift better and faster, and always race in 3rd so you don't burn up your OD clutches... I used to always run my truck in D with a maggie and servos and fried my clutches and reverse drum and bands... rebuilt with better parts and started racing by putiing in 3rd and no problems so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4Runner Posted January 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 I have never been able to leave 3rd, for my truck is limited at 110. Just so you all know I'm not arguing. Just tring to get a better understanding of this truck. Thanks for all the info. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC03SS Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Yeah leave it in 3rd. Mines always in 3rd at the track on the road OD. I've left if in OD at the track as well no difference in time or shifting it just won't make it to OD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linzerella Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Although manually shifting is not really recommended with that transmission, it will be faster but only if you can hit it at the right rpm. Stock rev limiter is at 6000rpm so you need to make the shift well before that. Stock shift points are indeed too low but manually shifting is also difficult because of the low rev limiter.

There is basically only 3 gears needed for racing with the fourth being an OD for fuel economy savings... 3rd gear will get you well over 100mph and our trucks should be able to handle up to 7000 rpms before needing ARP rod bolts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
