Definatley not shifting low I'm 6.000rpm 1-2 and 2-3 just above I may be hitting the rev limiter. I'm getting a sort of doulbe change just before the finish line. I've lowered my 2-3 change by 2mph to see if it helps.

I only have a HPP3 to do this. Havn't had a chance to try it yet.

Hey paul I'm back at Shakey 11th June with a couple of others bringing cars also why don't you join us on the track. There will be some Jap crap to shut down or get shutdown by!

HP Tuners is pretty good too. For ideas from a bolt=on guy who went 12.0 with 2.73's, I would PM OctaneZ28 (Tim).

I used to travel to London and the Midlands back in the 90's, I was playing in bands and my ex-wife was from North London.

Thanks John, I hope to be getting my LT's fitted next weekend then it's back to the track in June. Then I have to make a decision wether I bother to fit the 3.73's or not!

I may need some DR's next and then I need a tune!

Default Update

I did the headers install today at my buddies workshop using a proper 2 post ramp and an air racket. It went very well and I can't believe how much easier the job was with the proper facilities. The install guide I down loaded said 5-12 hours using car ramps and axle stands at home.

We di it in 3 1/2 hours and test drive aftre wards perfect, no exhaust leaks or Y pipe touching under the car also no ground cleareence issues.

Funny thing my car sounds exactly the same as it did before. I have a quietnes pack on the exahust with a single outlet. I could feel the car feels more responsive in the mid range. I have a twin outlet exhaust to fit yet.

I now need to get back to the track to see how this beast performs!
