OK well I believe I can adapt it, I'm going to try any way, I let you know how it goes, and if it works, how to do it

No I guess you got a good one, did you take all the weight out, I don't take anything out, I got stuff in the trunk and that sort of thing, I'm still running single exhaust, I was going to get the duels next but I got on this shifter thing, and I want it more, duals will make it faster, but the shifter will make it more fun.

It doesn't matter, if you go faster shifting your self then you need to fix your tune

Going by the pic in his sig he has a 6er, not a GT, so that would explain his times.

Supracrowdis,

We have very similar mods with the exception of the TCI T/C. How is that working out for you? I've heard they make a big difference when you hammer it, especially on autos. Have you been to the track with that setup? I want to pick one up before too long, but I've got to wait for the blower and cams.

I respectfully disagree, I learned to drive a clutch on an international tractor trailer with a broken tach, and I'm glad it was broke, I don't need a tach or a shift light to know when to shift, I can feel it, and its different in every vehicle, and as I said before, I tell the car what to do, it dosnt tell me what to do, if you like siting there just pointing the car, that's great, but I like driving it, and its not a matter of whether you can shift faster then the car, as the car will only shift so fast, its knowing when to move the shifter, and I do, and yes I'm a 4.0, and I think 14.75 is very respectful considering the few power mods I have, stock she ran 15.75, and on top of all that, I'll say it again, this shifter project isnt about making the car go faster, its about making the car more fun to drive
