Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) rpm vs speed

[PKozlowski]

ok I have to ask. Simple yes or no and someone please respond.



Someone company is claiming that I can use a product($400)

that I will lower my engine rpms but still keep the same

wheel speed while cruising down the road.

Say 75 mph.



My question, is this possible yes or no?



I know it is not but some people are arguing the point

with me and will not give. :-{}



We're talking ENGINE rpm change only. Nothing else.

No transmission mods, no bigger tires no nothing.

Just a change in engine rpms.



My thinking is if I'm doing 75 at 2200 rpms

if I go 2000 rpms I will slow down to say 70.

Pretty simple I though.



Someone back me up on this!

I don't see how that's possible either without an auxiliary overdrive unit, taller tires or gear ratio changes May increase power at given rpm, but it seems like a tire/gear/ratio change would be required for what you are talking about



some of the driveline guru's may chime in to clear this up

My point exactly. I know it is not possible.

But they swear up and down it's true.

Guy kept saying our engineers ran it on the dyno and thats what it said.

(they're ad doesn't say that it says somthing different!)



But they also claim that the NASA engineers were in on this and some fortune 500 execs and by gosh it's true.



Still my simple question. How?

But they swear it's true.



Someone smarter then me(and that doesn't take much) chime in!!

it's only a matter of time before billy mays is screaming out of my tv about this one.

 

[foolkiller]

actually i'm a little ashamed i know him by name.

 

[NoSeeUm]

Does it come with a bridge and buckets and buckets of red paint?

Sounds like NASA and the Fortune 500 have gone in on another paper tiger for us to chew on.



Anything too good to be true, ussally is, just like the immaginary stock values of the late '90s and early '00s.

Well I talked to one of the owners of this company this morning.



He reminded me that this was a customer testimonial and not the company

stating that you'll get a lower engine rpm with the same wheel speed.



I told him I agreed with him but if the company puts it on they're website

they must have agreeded with it.



He was surprised it was even up there and said anyone would know that

is BS and you can't lower the rpm and keep the same speed.

He is going to have the website changed.



I think it may have been someone posting these to they're website that

knows nothing about mechanics and if they did then they need

better quality control.



Mistakes can happen.

If it doesn't change gearing, tire size, etc, then No. I assume this is some sort of computer "chip"?



Once you lock up solid in OD, your RPMs are "fixed" for any given speed... if not, your slipping something.
