You're also at sea level, and I'm at something like 4000ft

Yep. The tires are worse than stock, so I think that might be playing a role, but mostly I'm sure it's the driving. I wanna get the video up so I can get a critique from you guys.

The only thing you are lacking is the front diff. I am sure if you had that you would be getting better 60s.

Heh, alright. Sorry, I'm comming from a WRX...so this whole tranny abuse thing is strange and frightening.
I think once I get some stock springs on there(the guy before put s-techs on it and they suck), and a sticky-ish tire I'll be alright.
I'm hearing people say that street tires are the worst on the drivetrain, and I'm hearing people saying DRs are the worst. I would think that DRs would be harsher, but the fact that they wheel hop less gives some credit to the street tires being worse theory. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Yea I figured. I'm going to do some chassis and mount stiffening to try and remedy that. But the tires that are on here are aweful. Sumitomo somethings. They're not good at all.
