Question More power--Harder to shift?

I just had a stout H/C install and am having some issues with W.O.T shifting.Is this because of the power and rpm or do I just need to get used to it? M6 spec stage 3 clutch.

50k on motor and 25k on clutch. I have to say it shifted just fine the day before the install of h/c.

If you bumped up the rev limiter (which is almost inevitable with a cam install), shifting at higher RPMs (above the 6200 RPM factory rev limiter) will show you the shortcomings of your hydraulics and/or clutch setup. If you haven't done the drill mod to the master, I'd start there...if you don't have the upgraded hydraulics (that came standard on the 2001-2002 F-bodies), that could also be another thing to look into.

My thoughts exactly.
