My TC theory may not work on the 518 but the 46RE only, that's why I'd like
for some to try it, I may have not explaned it correctly though....
60 mph-
Poosh button-
wait for rpm to raise to 3000 area-
punch full throttle-
count 3 seconds-
un-poosh button-
rpm will raise 500 marks and motor will pull harder.
I am sure the R/T's will all do this, as I showed this to a bunch of folk in
my 99. I never tried
this in the 93 though (518), please try for me. But I am talking about flash
stall, not brake stall.
