I have no clue.hahahaha. trying to make a few minor changes and Ill head back to the track. This time ill be a little more aware. I know my shifts were still quick but the 1st 3 gears went by sooo fast im not super sure if my shift points were perfect. According to my dyno graph, my shift points should be right around 8k. The only thing different to my trans is i have the evo 9 1st gear and all the other goodies shep recommended for my build.

How tall is your tire? 4th gear would only do high 126+'s and bounce off the limiter @ 8,000 for me

245.45.17

Sounds like a plan. Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions today. We definitely have to catch up at the track soon. Looking forward to it.
