I recently put a 4r70w in my cougar..
Motor: Pretty much stock exept a couple things..
1985 Ford Mustang 5L 4BBL engine:
Rate by ford as
210 HP @ 4400 RPM
270 ft/lb @ 3200 RPM
Now, What has been changed..
Ignition:
MSD 6AL Box, Billet Dist, MSD Wires, Timing Box.. (for minor timing adjustments)
Fuel:
Edelbrock Performer 302 (pretty much the "stock intake")
Holly Avenger 670 Carb
>Front Jets Upsized to 65 from 62
>Rear Jets Upsized to 68 from 65
Exhaust:
Original Mustang Shorty Headers
Custom 2 1/2 Exaust (True Dual) w/X Pipe. No Radical Bends
No Cats, Flowmaster 40 Series Mufflers..
Other:
Electric Fans, No "blade" on the water pump.
200Amp Alternator..
Rear: 8.8 w/3.73 Gears w/Limited Slip.
Where should I set the WOT Shift points too?
Right now 1-2 is at about 5g, 2-3 is at 4.5g, 3-4 is at 4~4.5g
( i stop getting peddle happy at 85mph..)
Math Stuff..
(maybe a little off)
1-2 Shift 5000@38.7MPH (rpm drop too 2700)
2-3 Shift 4500@63.9MPH (rpm drop too 2900)
3-4 Shift 4000@88.0MPH (rpm drop too 2800)
I have not dino'd my car yet.. gonna do soon..
Are these good shift points? or should i tweak them a little? the motor was designed to be in front of a Manual tranny. And it was a dog in front of a C4 w/2.73 gears... But now gets up and goes!..
