Do the 6 speeds have the same low speed torque management as the autos? No full power/TQ till XX MPH?



Just wondering... Mine seems to really take off once I hit 3rd or 4th gear. But nothing really in 1st or 2nd. Kinda falls on it's face.
 
Falls on its face because the RPM's hit redline so fast. LOL Doesn't load enough to make boost till 3rd. At least thats what I figured.



Just wanted to check to make sure I didn't have any "hidden power". :D
 
Mine's stock, but it does the same thing. Just runs out of gear before the fuel comes on full. 1st gear HI at redline is only good for about 12 mph anyway :-laf :-laf

It doesnt load enough. Just watch your boost gauge in first and second, then see what it does in third. It will redline right when the boost climbs. I can hit 18-20 lbs in second gear right before redline, but at about 12 lbs it will start to shoot up like a rocket till I run out of R's. Try covering the brake a bit to load it harder.
 
Are you sure you're getting traction? My dually loves to spin 2nd and 3rd in my NV5600. I get good traction in 4th - 6th though and I only have a ramifier, CPS and exhaust mods.
 
Bring your rpms up before you let the clutch out. You'll see some difference but be ready to shift. If you are quick you'll still have boost when you get back on the throttle. Just what I see on my truck.
