generally those are called relocation brackets, JPC gave them a retarded name.

Do you have some timeslips so we can see the difference between runs? also, I'd monitor AITs and datalog if I were you.

also, I'd probably see if you can't leave harder (5k rpm), if traction is an issue a bigger burn out or different tires might help. On the other hand, people are pulling 1.5 60's leaving at 3800rpm on autos, so 4k rpm should be good.

First gear on the MT82 is 3.66. First on the auto is around 4.00. That could be the reason especially if the auto has 3.31 rear gears. Leaving at 5k is might be the sweet spot since the OP isn't running the Boss plenum.

put a new clutch and steel clutch line in my car and all my problems are fixed. Recommend atleast the clutch line to everyone with any issue or even hot weather hard to get into first issues.
