you have 2 simple fix options

1: get HPP3 and lower the 2-3 shift by 1 till it gets off the limiter

2: find someone with or buy LS1edit and bump the 2-3 shift down some till its off the limiter

its a common prob with modding any car(even stock cars hit it timie to time)

Hey Big Black: You've got to have the HPP3 for the year of your car. Unfortunately.... Best wishes. WJ. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Third option is just bump the rev limiter up a bit too.
