I think the ZF 8 speed is the best of the >6 speed automatics. I liked it a lot better than Ford 10 speed although that may be down to programming.

I know someone makes an adapter for ZF to the LS.

I have also been told that a 6R60 can be used behind a GM engine as well. Then again I think that trans is basically the same as a 6L80E minus bellhousing. Both are based off a ZF.

Drove it to the store today while datalogging. Still working on the VE table in places. It is running pretty decent now. Played with it a bit in a fairly remote area with smooth straight roads and a 75-mph limit. I realized quickly that someone forgot to delete the speed limiter in the P59.

I did notice my speedometer is sticking as it increases rather than smoothly gliding along. The speedometer only seems to be glitchy on quick acceleration, while driving with a lighter foot it is smooth like it should be.

Here is what the same acceleration looks like on the Datalog. It is smooth unlike what the speedometer shows. Speedometer is adjusted by GPS to be spot on at 70 mph, PCM data reads 2 mph slow.

I could not figure out how to title this one. 93 octane Shell pump gas and 29-30* of timing at full load on a ~10.65:1 engine with a now wider 0.054" quench distance with the Felpro 1003s. I have seen the PCM pull a degree or two of timing here or there, but nothing crazy like some would believe. At 75 I could still catch 2nd up to about 90, but no real sense to abuse the engine or 85E like that when it still has plenty of power to pull 3rd.

Damn, was the van empty or full of fat chics?

That's all that luxury stuff in the van.....

Full tank of gas and about 150-200 lbs of tools plus my 240 lbs in the drivers seat. From what I remember the scale accuracy or resolution is +/- 20 lbs per axle.

As well as the class 5 hitch, drop forged ball mount, sway bars and extra frame mounted battery. The 1 ton running gear added an easy ~500 lbs to it.

If the gas tank in the vans are like the pickups, and they hold 34 gallons of gas, that's probably close to 300 pounds at least.

31 gallon and I just topped it off. 70 miles later the needle is still parked on F, lol.
