Third Gear Not Pulling as Hard I have a 99 t.a. I have raced many other f-bodys and for some reason they all have a better third gear than me. I can be ahead a car and a half the first two gears and on third they close it up to half a car. What gives? The only thing they use that i dont is a kn air filter could this be it?

Nope. We both have headers, lid, and the camaro has a fast toys ram air and i have a bg ram air. So basically were the same. Could it be the weight difference (camaro vs. t.a.)?

Im going with gears. you probably have 2.73's and the others probably have 3.23's. There is a way to tell what gears your rear has from a code on your doorjam, but I dont know what it is. Might try searching for it.
