[Webby the Bear]

Car going at 20-25. Mash foot to floor. Steady build up of revs. Doing bit faster... 30-40 for example. Car kicks down and flies.

Is this right? Or should it kick down at those slower speeds too?

[omega3000]

Should be instant throw back into seat at any speed , well tis in 3.0  Although depends how long you been driving around like Granny Bear 

[Stallion]

Kicks down here at any speed? tried it again just for you 

[minifreek]

Should go like a stabbed rat at those heady speeds LOL

Is it same when in 'S'...?

[Mr.OmegaMan]

I feel like the kickdown works best on mine without sports mode, But as has been said it should throw you back into the seat either way 

[Webby the Bear]

Yeah same in sports mode.

Wonder why. Any ideas? ill check the throttle cable isn't slack but pretty sure I did that before

[Marks DTM Calib]

Usual cause is to much slack in the throttle cable on the cable throttle setups.

Or the wrong engine on dbw cars

I have always considered the optimum to be a 3.2 block running 3.2 heads and manifolds with a 3.0 injection setup

With a proper gearbox, I trust

And 3.0l pistons, to get the CR back up (and sod the tree huggers)

Might get a bit of piston slap on account of the 1.5mm clearance in the bores, mind.

Fit 2.5 heads with a bit of porting
