Maybe your right about the gears, I do like the top end performance. Last week I took out a late model MB AMG S55, pretty even off the line, but got him by 1.5-2 car lenghts w/in 1/8th mile. He was so pissed at the next light, side by side, he wouldn't even look over! The tune Shane did for me is all I have for management... I love the tune, big difference between the two tunes.
I just wanted faster gears, because it's annoying to let Vettes get the jump on me, then I have to wait for the windup. I haven't had the chance to race a ZO6 or ZR1, "normal" Vettes do get shocked though when I scream by. The car is a beast. I fell in love with it in 95, Infiniti gave me one to test-drive for the weekend, but 55k back then... I got this one from a client in 99 for 7k with 58k miles on it.
I like the 5 speed you put in... I'm a little green, but I still have a lot of other things to do to "finish" this project. My wife doesn't think it'll ever be done. That's okay... After 2006 or so, she had the car while I was on a contract job, she hasn't been allowed to drive it since. Between her and the kids, they helped out the interior problems. I'm waiting for a quote on interior now.
FYI, I didn't and don't have the expertise or tools to do this install, I helped, but my ex-friend mechanic did the install. This install was massively inspired by Shane's install. I sat on the parts too long and Shane beat me to the finish, but I think it helped us to tweak what we wanted different from his. I now do all maintenance and upgrades to my Baby... Mechanic douchbags!
