I love the step by step, mod by mod log. Well done.

I'm planning on doing something very similar with my L99. I might have to start a thread like this once I really get underway with mine. You've inspired me.

I did notice something though. Go to about the 50 second mark on the Darlington pass and listen. It almost sounds like the engine hangs for just a second once it gets into 4th. Then it doesn't do it in your last vid. Was that you playing with locking the converter or something?
Thanks bro!

Very observant on the vid. With the new cam, the way it shifts and the way the torque converter locks up has changed. Between Darlington and my last run at Steele, I played with the tables.

Basically I zeroed out the TCC Desired Slip tables. A couple of other little things, but that's the main thing. I'm still not completely happy with the Lockup for daily driving. Sometimes it slips too much at highway speeds (70-75mph), which is why my gas mileage has gone down 2-3mpg.

But thanks for the props. I've been doing the step-by-step thing because it's a lot funner this way and I learn more. Plus, perhaps others will benefit.
