NJ First Time out with Updates

After Changing to a 10.5 Tire, Parachute, Wing and some Safety Hardware, this is the first pass she made. I need a Clutchless transmission. This Turbo2 isn't cutting it anymore.

Ever think about going with a clutch assisted trans? I had a old doug nash that was great but gave me issues so went with a G101. 4500$ shipped to my door in 3 weeks. Was looking at Liberty's 5000 series trans. 5 speed clutch assisted. It was a 2 month wait and cost more.

But this G101 is really nice. Now no more worries about trans issues or breakage. Shift great.

No regrets for me.. always hearing guy sending a stock trans to Liberty's to get face plated. 4000$ and still have issues. Gears and case breaking. The G101 good for 1000hp. I do down shift from 4th and 3rd gear. Not bad at all. Very smooth trans over all!!!!

It's all in your timing, it's like revmatching but clutching like grandma, multiple 8 second passes on a 100% stock fd trans, un opend, not many H pattern guys have done it, plenty of Nyce1s video of it (lensanity)
the low 8's and 7 are gforce

Check the clutch to see if you have too much load on it. Put trans in 1st push the clutch all the way in and rev it to redline if the car lurches forward with the clutch in it is too tight and need to shim the pressure plate. I was having same problems and this helped relieve the 1st to 2nd shift. Also what rpm are you leaving at on the 2 step. Great looking car and good luck with it.
