how do they dyno an auto, just let it wind up and rip through the gears? those are some good numbers, was that with a 2.6?

Much better numbers.

Lidio at Alternative Auto runs it through the gears up to third and leaves it in third for the pull on the automatic

i'm not sure how the gearing in the five speed works my self... don't know if the overdrive is a seperate gear all its own or not... but the transmission should essentially be in fourth gear with the overdrive off

5th gear is considered overdrive. Our auto's are 5 speeds.

+1... when "OVERDRIVE" is switched OFF, the car will never kick into 5th gear and will only go as high as 4th. this is what we autos do for faster acceleration on the highways.
