Default Need help with 2nd gear speed.....
Well, you can see what I have, and my problem currently is that it seems like I just dont have a great "kick" into second gear with power. At least not the kind that I get when shifting into 3rd or 4th. Is there a basic upgrade that will help this, or should I just work on my shift points a little better.???

thx
