With the ORS system, it is pretty straightforward

why do people call 3.0's slow, i hav seen a number of sweet ones. and the 3.0 and3.4 have the same tranny.

Because factory, they are underpowered, overweight, and are plagued with stupid ideas, and problems.  It takes far too much $$ in order to make the motor "powerful" so it isn't financially feasible for most people to build into a powerful motor.  They can pull 70-80 mph without too much problem, but they don't run well at high RPM, their torque sucks, and the RPMs are comparable to a mildly built 22re.

yeah, i have one, put some money in it for power. gained a lil, not enough for the money, i like it though. i like 22re's more though, longer life, better gas milage, and cheaper too build.
