With no torque management, courtesy of HPTuners, it still will not get run over. My C5 I can shift each gear @ 1,000 RPMs. Usually 1500 so I don't have anyone on my bumper!

Not flaming anybody, but how does anyone driving a "V" shift around 1500, especially when going 1-2-3? I consider myself a relatively conservative driver unless I'm challenged, and in everday driving I'll shift a shade under 4K, and that's with not even trying! If one is shifting around 1500 I can understand where the "clunk" comes from!
I drive like I do because thats how I drive when not having fun.

I shift at 2K in my 2000 camaro when going to work and putting around. When I get on a back road or lined up against someone I shift that bitch at 6800
. Other than the racing and back road pulls I baby the car as much as possible.

Maybe its just the way I drive, but it seems to shift the smoothest at around 3k (or more). If I try to shift at <2k it always seems to buck me. HEHE.
This is a little off-topic, but does premium gas get better gas mileage than mid-grade? My wife always puts mid-grade in it, and now she put in premium and we're gonna calculate the diff in MPG. We dont "get on it" much -- so the loss of power isnt a huge concern using mid-grade.
