I have this problem as well, and a buddy with a Saleen blown 08 did the night we were at the track.

I am shifting ~ 65-6700 and 1-2 WILL NOT go in unless I short shift it. After that I didn't even attempt the 2-3 or 3-4.

Will a torque limiter remedy this?

it should be a big help, I had the issue on the 3-4 shift, believe it or not, once the tq lmtr was on... never an issue, I power shift 1-2, 2-3 and 3-4 no like a mo fo, street and track!

ive been wanitng to try it.

so what's stopping you?? try 3-4 first a few times to get used to it, its the easiest to do IMO, once your comfortable then go 2-3 or 1-2 and practice.

Sure. As mentioned in the thread below my last post, it works out differently for everybody. Just like for 119 mph i'd expect a slightly lower ET.


Me too. But, turbo cars seem to have higher speeds with slower ETs. I would guess its because of the boost schedule.
