Hey guys,

I'm noticing that the car really hauls *** through 1st and 2nd gear, but when getting into 3rd there is a bit of a loss in how much the car is pulling.

Just curious what you guys think, or if you notice the same thing. And what you guys might have noticed improved this etc. I'm aware that every bolt on in the book and a tune would help to eliminate this, but also wondering if just something like the HFC's I have been considering would be the solution. It just feels a touch out of its powerband for a moment when getting into 3rd.

I'm talking about full throttle 7500rpm shift from 2nd to 3rd here and winding out 3rd.
