    Adjust the kick-down cable to raise pressure in the valve body.

    So that allows for better shifts at WOT? Also did you ever take the lexus to the track?

    that allows for better shifts period. this has to be the laziest automatic i've owned. Only had 2 and oddly enough they're both the same. Lexus has never been to the track. you know fear of headgaskets blowing anyday makes you drive carefully. but i got parts today. gonna start rebuilding friday or saturday.

    Blame the forum. If you want to edit a post after 10-15 minutes it gets tacked on to the old post... I always found that strange.

    They're known to burn out in the older Lexus models. By 97-98 Lexus had introduced new technology and the problem never happened again.

    Yeah I know the forums still have problems... If you do a double post from an iPhone within 15 minutes, it just gets rid of the first one entirely.

    I know. I can't beat a WS6 firebird straight up anyway. And it was open test and tune night. Who wins/looses doesn't matter.
    I posted this on the Camry forums that i follow, they're quite intrigued. I've raced my friends with the basically the same motor (w/o VVT), same transmission and one had more work then me = both lost. I kinda hate to admit this but VVT-i is pretty good.

    Yea, it really is a quick time considering what you have done to the car. I plan to take the corolla back to the track when they open next season to see how it does now. Do you have any more plans for it performance wise?
