well when I go 2nd to 3rd it drops about to there as well.... just think, the trans that comes in the car and the way it's all geared is not neccessarily for racing. it's for smooth daily driving use and will take a hard accel... if you are serious about racing and have other cars as well, gears would be a great option for you

i think all stangs fall on their face in 3rd gear...everytime id raced my cousins trans am i take him from 1 to 2 and see him flying by when i hit third...sometimes i feel like 4th gear pulls way harder than 3rd...anyway GEARS will cover this up but your 1 to 2 will need something called "traction" and alot of it

You definitely need some gears, I'd only use the predator to bump your timing. Any of the 'canned' tune, I'd take out. It's garbage.
