Message:
I have installed an R/T TB, Cold air intake, Flowmaster 40 (existing piping, just changed the muffler) and a Jet stage II. -2000 3.9 auto-

I heard on here all the time that people could EASILY break loose the tires with these mods and I CAN'T! Maybe in a turn but not sitting still at a red light.

My RPMs will not go above around 3500 unless I take it out of overdrive, and it feels like that tranny does not wanna downshift. If I am going 45 and floor it, it'll just increase slowly in RPMs never downshifting to 3rd.
I thought the Jet chip would help my shift points but I don't think it did.

Any help/advice would be appreciated. (and I know the Jet II are supposed to be crap, i'm just trying it out)

If your not downshifting, check the TV cable adjustment as following...

Also look into adjusting the TPS and relocating the IAT, as shown on that page as well. Might help...



'00 RC Sport Forest Green, 3.9L, 5-speed 3.55, Hurst Comp-Plus Shifter, Clear-Corners, Speed-Glo gauges, Airaid Intake with relocated IAT, Autolite 3923s, Ported Throttle Body, Borg & Warner Cap/Rotor, Accel Coil, JBA 9mm Wires, JET Stage II
