AH!!!! That I didn't know. From what I've been told from the other 8 owners is that the firewill deflection leads to the warpage that doesn't allow the master to be fully decompressed. The way it was described to me was that by eliminateing the firewall flex uptop, the lower half of the pedal assembly stays in place and thus it works as it should. Of course this could've been what was told to him by someone hocking a shiny underhood product.
see you get a couple of weak *** spot welds, and then it cracks (usually around 50K miles) or pops off entirely... but that is usually way after you have messed up the tranny by half missing shifts.
BTW - do you have the AFE short shifter? Or a spare stock shifter around?

Damn, that's impressive and sadening all at the same time.
Yeah, that's about what I've been finding out from a bunch of other people as well.
Damn, need to find a cheap stocker so I can start messing around with gaining that 3.5" back
