1-2 & 2-3 shift points?

[Chris_Murder]

It's been awhile since I last drove a mark VIII, but with my 4v motor swap coming near completion on my tbird I wanted to know what rpm are you N/A guys shifting at WOT and what rpm does it shift at from the factory at WOT? I have a built TC, aftermarket cams, aftermarket beehive valve springs, and beefed up internals so I'm not worried about spinning it slightly higher than factory. I just wanted to get some feedback and to find out what's working out for others in the community.

Thanks again LVC,

40=6100rpm, 60=6100rpm

4.10's, 3200 stall

This is supposed to be stock numbers but for a 93. I have the W3Z2 PCM in mine and it shifts into 2nd at about 6200 to 6300 rpm

Couldn't tell you about a stock Gen II

W3Z3 WOT spark
6000.000 27.0
5000.000 24.0
3500.000 23.0
3150.000 19.0
3050.000 14.0
2500.000 12.0
2000.000 12.0

W3Z2 WOT Spark

6000.000 32.8
5000.000 29.0
3500.000 26.5
3150.000 22.3
3050.000 17.0
2500.000 15.0
2000.000 13.0

W3Z3 Rev Limit 6450

W3Z2 Rev limit 6850

W3Z3 1-2 shift 5600
w3Z2 1-2 shift 5600

W3Z2 speed limit (driveshaft revs) 16372= no speed limiter
W3Z3 speed limit (driveshaft revs) 5400 = max speed limited!

Shift pressure on the W3Z2 PCM is about 15 PSI higher as well, for a more solid, quick shift.

W3z2

I'd be interested in buying one of these since no limiter and better shift points and pressures sound good too.
What's the difference in 1/4 performance?

 

[NoLimit95]

Not sure about the 1/4 but I do know my 0-60 is right at 1.0 to 1.2 sec quicker. Jamie is supposed to be looking to see if he has anymore of them. I never got a video of the 7+ sec 0-60 with the DZA1 PCM but this one is with the W3Z2 installed. Car is completely stock except for the computer swap.

YouTube - 95 Mark VIII Bone Stock 0-60

0-60

Over 1 second quicker 0-60 is kick-ass. I want one asap. Jamie, let me know!

i also just recieved one from jamie my mark is stock except j-mod no mufflers, its hard for me to explain my gains from the w3z2 but it was like i gave it a needed tune up even though it ran great before(new plugs ,wires etc) just seems to go though the rpm's better,as for the shift points and pressures i noticed no differece in the shift pressure in the 1-2 or 2nd to drive but it did seem to take out that lazy od shift i had. as for the no speed limiter i dont know? although i did do a 125mph speed test on that ugly ass power antenna i have. but all in all the w3z2 worked great and jamie was great to deal with

I believe 127 mph is supposed to be the limit so if you can hit 130 or more, you'll know you're not limited anymore. If you try it before I do, let me know in a PM if it worked please.

I was thinking around 6300. That way I'm still well in my power band after the shift. Just wanted to make sure that wasn't over the top. 2v's shift at 5250-5500 stock so I needed a good reference. Thanks a lot guys.
