What are your stall specs? If what I'm thinking is correct, it's going to act completely different once you hit it with nitrous. I noticed it didn't lock either. If you want some more trap speed/top end have your guy tune it to lock in 3rd gear around 85-90 mph (or at a high enough RPM in 3rd so that it doesn't lug the engine too much).

Factory stall right now, 2500-2700 if I recall. Seems pretty tight

I was thinking you had stalled it for some reason. It should be locking in 3rd. That auto Mach I had locked up between the 1/8th and 1/4, was trapping 106 with an ORX. Pretty sure the same year GTs have locking stalls too. Yours maybe locking and the vid just doesn't pick up on it.

I wouldn't get too worried about track times yet man. The weather here has been so humid lately that I think you'll pick up crazy times just waiting for a colder september day. Plus look at the difference with that camaro race, the gear is working I think it's mostly track conditions.

So I emailed them some pics last night and they actually picked up the phone and called me which was cool. They're gonna replace it but they're out of them right now... so I prob won't be spraying this year either. ..... but I will say their customer service has already been a lot better than my issues with NX so I'd still recommend them.

This nitrous is gonna fight me to the end

That's what he said, I emailed them just asking them to look and he called me and apologized and said he wasn't sure how it even got out.
