[QUOTE="smashedheadcat, post: 8443560, member: 7756"] That's a good question. What I need to do is adjust my powercurve to meet the rpm range that I want the car to perform best in. For one, I make an assload of power below 5000rpms. That's perfect for things like spooling up quickly, building boost on the sct 2-step (which I don't use anymore) and insane "tooling around town" throttle response. If I can shift my power curve up some I will lose some of that power down low and gain some up top. Since I'm rolling with an automatic with a somewhat loose stall converter, my car rarely sees anything less than 4500rpms when I'm playing around or racing (never below 4500). So shifting my curve will really help me where my torque converter can keep my engine in the upper rpms, which right now, is where my torque curve is falling quickly and the horsepower stays steady. If I can shift it some my converter will make the very bottom of the rpm range obsolete and take advantage of the gains I would see on the top end. I'm thinking about doing this or just tightening up the torque converter some to bring the rpms down into the meat of my powerband. I haven't ruled out the option of a bigger exhaust a/r housing either. Tons of options and unfortunately there aren't many setups that can do it all. [/QUOTE]
