Ive read a lot about the first to second grind but im having issues with high rpm 3rd to 4th shift.if I let the rpms drop below 4500 it shifts like a champ at higher rpms it sounds like synchronizers spinning and wont go into gear......any ideas....fluid change maybe?

You're probably revving that engine higher than stock with the blower and cam...I had problems with my stock clutch getting hot, the 3-4 shift especially would really get a mushy pedal and be tough to get into gear...new fluid didn't help it much.

I had to go to a new aftermarket clutch, and after seating it properly I've also wound up modifying my clutch master to throw a little further for better feel shifting at high RPM.

When you rev the engine up in gear with the clutch pedal depressed while sitting still on level ground, does the car creep forward?

no....the clutch seems to be closer to the top than the factory clutch
