Question for guys who actually have the the Roush Kit

[brucelinc]

I am thinking the T is for torque....

I have reviewed logs of my Lincoln but don't recall that acronym.

Sorry, manifold charge temp. Aka IAT2

 

[brucelinc]

420 says his logs show the throttle body closing at 160 degree iat2. That is much different than the torque managed shifts, though. Cutting power at the shifts takes place regardless of temp.

420 verified it's closing at 160 iat2's. Used to be 150. Are you not seeing that in the tune?

I do not, but what I’m trying to say is that the throttle will close to reduce exhaust temp. Exhaust temp is calculated. If manifold charge temp(MCT)/IAT2 is part of the exhaust temp calculation then that could explain it.

Love that car.... I would probably have one now had they not been so hard to find..... and the ADM

The sad part is if we would’ve ordered one and actually got it they would’ve sold it at Sticker at 2.49@72, I’m gonna buy one once the hype goes away (2024) with 8-10k miles on it. A E85 tune and a tire it should run 10.50

If a used GT500 is reasonable by 2024 then I’ll look at one of them too, one way or the other I’ll one of the two

I think they are the top Corvette dealership in this Country and MacMulkin Chevrolet is second.

Yes there 65 miles from my house

That's what I was planning on doing as well. I just can't see paying any ADM on a base model Corvette.

The ADM is what stops me from getting a GT 500.

It would be nice to have a warrantied factory hot rod with the heavy duty parts and pieces for longevity rather than cobbling one together with aftermarket parts, though.

Factory stock is the way to go for reliability and peace of mind. How much $ is it worth to you, though? I could buy a base GT, add a supercharger, and buy a crew cab f-150 for the price of a GT500...
