I only had the restriction issue going into 3rd.... I wonder if your master is leaking? In stock form I could power shift 4th with no issue during a 1/4 run at the track. Good runs. 
What speeds did you run from and where are you shifting? Need to get you some hptuners so you can catalog.

Getting tuned this week, so that will take care of the GTO and Mach for now. Then hopefully it'll have a good cam in it real soon. I'm going to continue to cut weight as well. I'd love to get it down to 3300 without destroying the car. After that I'm not sure..

The ONLY reason is due to have decent miles (82k) for the price (less than $10k). That and it is exceptionally clean. Otherwise I would never own a convertible. I was after the motor and trans moreso than the top, so I compromised.

Are you sure just a tune is going to take care of that gto? seemed like he was starting to pull pretty good, I'd think you'd need a little more than just a tune. But maybe you'll surprise me!

Yea man, I'm pretty positive. I'm down 15-20 HP untuned, and was also limited to 6k RPM. He'll bump that rev limit up another 600 RPM. I probably could've stayed on his rear bumper with nothing more than clean shifting imo. Don't forget about the cat-back either, I'm still on OEM diameter piping from the Y-pipe back through a flowmaster. Sitting here looking at some SLP prices as we speak
His car does pull up top pretty good, especially once that stall locks down.

Along with a trendy scarf and a pomeranian....

That go-pro is a little deceiving. I actually had a good fender on him until about half way through 2nd gear....and fell back on every shift. I think practice might help a lot, or just getting used to the car's behavior. I played around a little on the way home tonight and was able to get it to do more what I want.
