It does but there is no room for error when you shift...thats where the Tilton comes into play and some driving skill

whatever kind of trans/xfercase its a phenomenal car. i think the wall issue is coming from torque steer since the trans is on the driver side. there are a few Whiteline parts that may help straighten the car out. what alot of people forget is that cars trapping 150+ rarely go str8 down the track...

Whats happening is im spinning out of the hole so bad the syncro cant stop the gear...so i can ride it out on the limiter till the syncro can stop the gear or tame my 60fts down and boost so i do not spin so bad. 9times out of 10 it shifts perfect
