i forgot to mention.. its in another post but i guess my TC is bad?? its on and off but in 1st high rpms shifting is a big problem, its almost like the engine shuts down for a second. then shifts eventually into 2nd. so should i get a new tc before anything? im just not sure whether its the tc or not?? any help on that? also.. im hoping it doesnt do it today.. because im about to race my buddy in his 330ci.. its a pretty quick car. im not sure if i'll beat him. one of my other friends rode in it and said he'd take me. so i'll let you know how it goes when i get back.

Some pacesetter long tubes would be great. The base uncoated ones only cost around $275 and are good for 20-30 rwhp
