I havent done a full road test yet... but so far:

I can get traction in first and second gear. I havent gone really "***** to the wall" yet though. However, I am able to stand on second prettyyyy hard and get traction for what seems like most of the gear (i think it starts to slip a lil towards 5k rpms), and the best part: 2nd get can get me to over 50 MPH now so 2nd-to-3rd shifts do not bog anymore. That is a huge plus.
