sooo im goin down the street and this lil ford focus zx3 pulls up next to me... i think oh no not another one. so he revs i rev we go... i had him till he hit 3rd gear and i was just gettin out of second. then he pulled, he had me by a half a car length. but still if that 3rd gear had any power i would have beat him.... so do you guys know of anything at all that can cure this auto problem. besides a 5 speed swap?? PLEASE HELP MY BABY IS TO SLOW... maybe those cars are faster than i thought.

Contrary to the numbers... the 7AFE delivers a very flat torque band, although peaking at 2500 rpms... doesn't dramatically drop off till about 5000 rpms. The 7AFE better utilizes the delivered powerband in acceleration than say the 5SFE. I always shift at fuel-cut... which is around 6700 rpms for my ST (some models redline at 5600 with a 6200 fuel-cut. Some redline at 6200 with a 6700 rpm fuel-cut.) and I've consistantly run faster times that way.
