3800 transwork and nhift points

[Royalgtp]

Im waiting for reply by intense to see if I will have any problems when the intall my trans w 3.29 gearing.

Will I have problems with the shiftpoints if they do not redo my PCM?

I have a DHP and would like to keep it that way since charles is so close.

intense uses the reluctor wheel to spoof the pcm for the correct gearing. no need to flash the pcm for gear changes.

sweet. SO I should not have any problems then?


Do you think I should bring my pcm to charles after this to possibley raise the shiftpoints after the trans is put in to take advantage off all the stuff I have now?

You could, but if you have the reluctor wheel on, then have charles program the gears in, you might have a problem.

You can have the shift points raised if you want it will not effect it. raised shift points really only matter when your WOT not daily driving.

I dont really know enough on how it all works but I think with the reluctor wheel spoofing the pcm for gearing doesnt effect the WOT shift points.

I was just talking about raising the shift points to gain a little more power....now that the trans can handle it.

Raising the shift points helps a lot with rockers or cam. The Cya PCM I had kept the stock shift point at 5400. When I put in the rockers, I couldn't even tell a diference. I raised my 1st gear shift to 5800, and my 2nd to 6000; and it just pulls like hell after 5400. Definately worth doing if you have lower shift points. Just be aware they come with a price. If you decide to shift above 6000, start looking at stiffer valvesprings. At least 95#'s for 6000-6200, 6200-6500 105#'s, and 110's above that. Mind you this reccomendation os for rockers; cam #'s will be different. I would personally stick with 95#'s, since rockers won't do you much good after 6200 anyway.

thats the answer I was looking for. Thanks ron.


I wait till the cam goes in then......

With headers and smaller pulley, probably still bump your shifting up. Since you have a DHP Id say you are fine where your at.
