All over the U.S. police are cracking down on illegal street racing and they want you to go to the tracks, but there are not any close. The closest one to me is in Orlando about 50 minutes away. They were planning on building one here, but to many people complained about potential noise that they abandoned it.

Don, first gear is higher in our auto's. We have a 3:28 first and Stick's have 3:38. The reason it shifts so quick is because we do have a lower second gear which is a 2:22 to the stick's 2:20. Thats why the auto pulls harder than the stick cars till forth which is 1:1. Just thought you might want to know. You'll find yourself wanting to pull down in first manually so you can make ride first out especialy when you turn out onto a road. Thats the only side effect of 4:10's.

Thanks, td.

The only thing I have noticed that doesn't feel quite right, is that at WOT it seems to shift into 3rd a bit early. I haven't had a chance to watch the tach/speedo when it shifts (keeping my eyes on the road, instead), so I'm not sure when it is doing it. It just feels/sounds different. It may just be the tranny gear ratios playing a trick on me, though. I plan on using a couple passes at the track tomorrow to get an idea of the actual WOT shift points. I believe the Predator can alter them, I'm just not sure if it does it for WOT or normal driving conditions. Have you played around with reflashing the shift points?

BTW, I love the feeling you get when you drop it into 1st and are rolling at about 3000rpms, and then stab the loudpedal! Up she goes!! lol
