[QUOTE="GR8WHITE, post: 507058, member: 39"] If you haven't installed an aftermarket shifter, DO THAT!!! A Pro 5.0 or Steeda Tri-Ax are excellent choices. They both have very good quality, positive shift stops, and a spring loaded tower that helps that 2 to 3 shift. Learn how to launch the car without bogging. A [b]very little wheel spin[/b] won't hurt you. Start out by launching at around 1600 RPM's. Hold it there and start out on the clutch, [b]after[/b] it catches and just as it starts to pull, squeeze into the throttle. Remember clutch first then throttle. Squeeze progressively harder until you find where the car hooks the most and doesn't just start spinning. Once you have the launch down pat, shift the car at 5500 HARD. You have an aftermarket shifter now hopefully. Just hold the gas to the floor and snatch the heck out of the next gear at 5500. Yes you can use the clutch, but you must do this as fast and as fearless as you can. You won't hit the 6200 rev limitter if you do this FAST! Your RPM's won't drop as far and you'll keep the car working in it's stock powerband more. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
