sweet chuck, nice to see you back at the track. As for the 2-step I tried and tried to use but could never get it as good as the conventional way. Yes the rims are great looking but knock those bitches off when you go to the track. Have you weighed your original base rims? When you re tuned your car, did he take it to 8k rpm, if so how was the power delivery? I do shift mine @8k but it was still making power up there, actually peak power came in @ 7920 rpm. So, if your making power up there, rev it out since you have the gears. High redline and gears work well together
