CAGS = Computer Aided Gear Selection (skip shift). Supposed to help improve fuel economy when cruising at lower speeds/lower rpms.

because if you pull out slowly and not see a car or something that was hiding in a blind spot you need to get on it and when CAGS is locking you out of 2nd and 3rd gear your motor just boggs.

when i got my LS1 last saturday, i was told it had a performance chip in it (dont ask me the make or anything like that) as well as the whole SLP package and other mods. anyways my skip shift light comes on but it doesnt lock me out of 2nd, do you think the after market chip overrided the skipshift feature even though the "skip shift" still illuminates?
