For the first couple days I've had a lot of rain/wet roads, but yesterday was nice and I had the first chance to really start trying these gears out.
Traction off the line sucks! Gotta come onto it slow, otherwise they're just like the 3.73's were.....spin, spin, spin all through 1st and 2nd! I'm going to get ET Streets to solve that. They're ok under ~1/2 throttle though
.
At almost any given speed (with a couple exceptions) the tranny hardly kicks down 1 gear from where it's already at?
However (and I don't know why I never tried this with the 3.73's last year?) if you pull the shifter back 1 gear manually when you punch it, then she goes!!
So of course I've got the itch to go to the track now
. I "may" go for T & T tonight, but then again, it might be a waste of time since I'm still running on street tires
. But then again, f#(k it.....I wanna go!!

No, I haven't made it to the track yet 
. Now this Friday night, the weather should be good (Toronto weather ) but friggin' Cayuga is having some big 50th anniversary weekend, so the events may overrule the Friday night Test & Tune??!
I hope they still run T & T, cause even though I don't have tires yet, I think I'm gonna go!

. Well, I'm definitely going to the track tomorrow night for T & T (may be a waste of time, but I don't care!) so I'll let ya know Saturday how things went.....good or bad.
I wanted to drive it to see the difference or feel it.
