Killercanary had his SN95 GT running 2 seconds faster than stock with the stock computer and no FMU. I would say that's a pretty significant gain. Course, then again, maybe all SN95 GT verts trap close to or over 105 mph with the stock computer. (5spd)

The last time I checked, Killercanary was using some sort of tuner. I cant remember if it was a speedbrain, or eec tuner. Either way, I hardly call that stock!

At 5500rpms the AOD would be cranking down the 1/4 mile at 102mph in 3rd gear with stock sized rubber. I don't know of too many that will run 102mph near stock.

My experiences on this subject dont come from a gear ratio calculator. This past summer I tuned a car that my friend bought for his daughter. It was a 95 AOD-E car, that was bone stock with the exception of 4.10's. She was running out of gear at the E.T lights while she was trapping 95. I did the same thing on her car that I do to all stock SN95's that I work on. I set the base timing at 10 degrees, added 2 degrees of total timing across the board, leaned it out 2% below 4000rpm, and 3% above 4000. I also moved the rev limiter up out of the way. The end result for my friends daughters car was, 3 mph and 3 tenths. Part of the mile-an-hour was likely the rev limiter. I also tuned another 95 on the dyno and I have some graphs. If anyone would like to see them I can post them.

I have to admit I don't know where the rev limiter kicks in, but you can always buy a tuner for that problem.

I cant remember exactly where it is on the AOD-E cars. On my stock tach it looked like 5500, but I think it is 5800.

I see no need for an FMU.

I agree.
