I wanted to know if stock lightnings are supposed to atleast chirp second gear. I haven't been hard on mine considering a just got it, but I have gotten on it a couple of times. When it goes from its first to second gear change, it seems that i momentarly lose some power.(Makes the sound through the exhaust like the throttle was being lifted) The boost gauge reads 10 psi at full throttle, but i am wondering about why it seems to be momentarly losing power between shifts. Thanks in advance for any replies

By the way the truck is still stock

Thanks

Bone stock, it'll be a rarity for it to break the tires loose where you can hear them. The F1's don't make a lot of noise when they spin and you can't always tell by the sound. You'll be more likely to feel them spin (if they do).

The feeling of being down on power on shifts is a result of Ford's programming in the PCM. On the shift, they kill 4 of the fuel injectors (just shut 'em off entirely)in order to reduce the torque on the tranny. This is supposed to reduce wear and tear on the driveline.

Most of the better chips (PSP's in particular, (the best available IMHO)) will alleviate this feeling and firm up the shifts to where it will be more likely to be able to break loose on the 1-2, and sometimes the 2-3.

This will also result in less wear and tear on the tranny because the sloppy, soft shifts are caused by slippage and this creates heat, an automatic transmission's worst enemy.

I hope this helps some...
