Have you put a SS in there to see if it helps with the 2nd gear grinding? Stiffer motor/trans mounts? Frame bracing?

I, too, am looking forward to seeing some flyby videos and track videos!!

Absolutely gorgeous GT500!

wot box, seems to cure the second gear issue, we'll see at the track. I did get it to shift 1 time clean at the track and it resulted in a 10.8, this was with the eaton supercharger and only 570hp.

stock shifter at the moment, looking at putting in a barton shortly.

I think the Barton will go a long way towards curing that 2nd gear issue. If not, think about motor and trans mounts. It'll be a little more harsh in the vibration dept, but the results are awesome!

Torque limiters do not seem to be solving the issue for the 11-12 guys. I dropped the car off at the dealer to have the syncros and blockers replaced but it went from, itll be done in a few days to possibly a month. So I yanked the car from them and waiting till things calm down for their work load.

So far the wot box seems to be doing its job. I may try the torque limiter for grins though and see if it works.
