Don't be afraid of getting in the red. When you do the engine management stops you from doing any harm by cutting the fuel. That is if you are 100% stock like me

Haha, yeah I just got a pretty good chirp out of the tires on a 1-2 shift. I was just babying it too much (but it is only 2 months old). I feel much better now.

There is nothing wrong with going easy on your car. A buddy of mine has had alot of Vettes and currently a 69 Camaro. He couldn't figure out why he couldn't get a C5 Vette out of the mid 14's, but he baby shifts it at 5K rpm.... I generally think of him as not being retarded except for his devotion to Chevy's

how high are ya'lls rpms when you chirp 2nd.....i think maybe i'm afraid to wind mine up enough
I drop it into second about 4-5k if i want a good long second gear spin, but it really depends on the pavement and the tread compound of the tires.
