At this point I am at a loss how to get past the 1-2 shift being so difficult. I doubt a shifter change would make a difference as I feel it is a clutch/transmission issue?
Seems speed shifting is difficult in modern transmissions, http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=113398 and listen to the shifts.
When under boost in 1st, 2nd, hitting the rev limiter comes fast with the spinning of the tires. Having slicks would help this. Once moving down the track without that issue may change the whole situation?
I have some things to try after thinking about it and discussing it.
The Slicks are needed for sure. I have been looking for some lightweight wheels. Seems they aren't available in 18" to 20" that I can find. Anyone know of any? 18".
I am just out of time this year to make the changes now with the weather in Michigan moving in to winter. I will be back and hopefully with some more positive results.
I do have stock tires, stock rear end. Hmm, maybe I can plan a vacation to Florida and take it there? lol, Maybe a little Disney majic?
I will see if I can put a video on later today.
ROD1 is running knock-off Vette wheels with a spacer... Might be an option.
