Corey set mine at 7500 because I was still making good power up top. I bounced it several times today during the autocross on Nellis AFB. I had a blast and all the attendees really liked the way the LT5 was singing!

Hey Ron!
Which car did you drive today?
How did it do? Huh, Huh, Huh?

26 of you really need to go out and drive your cars

I hit mine, briefly, on a burn out. No big deal, just let off the gas.

Tom, so your shift light actually comes on? Mine doesn't seem to and I thought later GM ECM calibrations didn't turn it on anymore. But maybe I just have a bulb burned out...[/quote]

I have only had my car since last August, but I have never seen a shift light on my car either. I don't know that I want to see it.

I've never hit the rev limiter. When I dynoed my car I had the operator rev it because I didn't want to do it, he never hit it either-for the reason it wouldn't show more HP or TQ by doing so. I agreed & will probably do it myself next dyno...

just find your favorite stretch of road and get on it

I'm not sure if my limiter is enabled...that or the tach is off a little. But I can get way over 7K and near 8K without any limiter. I have stock gears and can hit 84MPH easy in 2nd. Is that normal?

Poly bushings will take care of that I guarantee it.

If your a DIY guy you'll need a 12 ton press and be prepared for a big job. But it will feel rock solid at any speed and have very little body roll around corners.
