For those of you that power shift at 6,000+ RPM, since your right foot is on the floor when you put in the clutch, how do you avoid over-revving the engine? I know there's a fuel cut-off on the stock GT (around 6,250 I believe), I've hit that once or twice.

Just wondering.

When it comes to power shifting it's all about timing with your foot and your hand. It takes some practice. Although it's not something you should not get the hang of quickly because grinding gears is just horrible. I remember when I 1st started doing it and I heard that grind, it's just one of the most painful sounds... Just make sure that left foot is fast. My problem was my arm was too fast for my foot.

Does anyone have a stock shifter handle they would like to get rid of?

The Handle is attached to the shifter. I'm not sure how it comes apart.. I suppose it does some way, but its not as simple as unscrewing.

I'm thinking he's just talking about the "ball", not the shifter shaft. If that's the case, it just unscrews.
