The FRPP kit doesnt have a new MAF by the way....they install a tune to deal with the new airflow.

Punching it from 3.5+ in secong might break the tires loose with a stock manual, the TCS will detect one tires spinning faster than the other and cut the throttle down quite a bit until traction is again constant. This might be what is happening but you should have indication the the TCS is functioning at those times....if you do not have any lights that indicate the TCS active then you need to take it in. I doubt this is the normal lag that people experience and think is a problem. @ 3k and up the car is quite powerful even at stock.

 

Usually when it happens I'll get that little light that shows u are losing traction.... usually....
I tested it some more at lunch. It's definatly ONLY happening when I have the TCS on..

Your thoughts?

 

Oh? It doesn't eh?
Then why does Ford specify a new MAF sensor with it's FR1 Power Pack kit?
And I quote:
"Mustang enthusiasts will be able to choose among three performance parts packages that provide specific levels of enhancement to their 2005 or 2006 Mustang GT depending on their performance desire. “FR1� or the ‘Power Pack’ provides for more muscle car manners with a throatier exhaust note and an increase in horsepower due to new mass air meter and Ford Racing premium fuel calibration for the 4.6L 3V V-8 engine. The equipment making up “FR1� is “bolt-on� and can be managed by an experienced “do-it-yourselfer� in his or her garage."

As to my comments otherwise, sorry about that. I did get it mixed up a little bit but Ialso figure it should be obvious what TCS does when it's active/ON.

Someone else thinksTCS should actually improve performance during WOT acceleration. Hmm.

TCS does not necessarily detect one wheel slippingfaster than the other. It detectstire slippage or breaking lose and spinning faster than the car is going, then it activates and kills power. I mean it kills power completely for ax milliseconds until the tire grabs again.
That will certainly make the car feel as though it's 'choking' out because it does sound that way obviously but it really isn't choking at all, it's dying as in dead for a period of time.

So all I am saying is that if the TCS is innactive/OFF, then one shouldn't notice any 'choking' or dying out and if they are then there is a problem as I have already stated in the spirit of trying to help.
That's all.
Have a good one!

Perfecto.
Thanks for the help.
It's a relief to know I am ok since it is only doing this with
the TCS ON.

I was a little bit worried.
Thanks a mill.

Guys

I have to agree, it seems that my car doesn't do this anymore with the TCS turned off. Time will tell but I think that was the reason.
