Learned my transmission sucks
Going to have to pull my tranny out and install the "fix" for the thing not wanting to shift. Going to go with a quicktime bellhousing and the carbon fiber syncro/blocker ring setup on 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear. The transmission has shifted on the road so I figured it was OK but turns out it'll only shift with it spinning, I guess it's something to do with the load or something.
Anyways, had fun as always at the track. Best pass was a dismal 12.99 at 119.21 mph with a 2.29 60'.

That angle doesn't show how sideways the car got in second gear but I have a few more friends that'll be uploading vids today that might get the point across.
Here is a pic of the car with the new track wheels:
Needless to say, it was def a learning experience. I won't be happy till the car goes mid to low 11's with this setup at Bristol which is about .2-.4 tenths slower than most tracks. If I get it running that good I'll probably take it to Beech Bend and go for a 10.99 but we'll see.
BTW, a C6Z with DR's, Intake at least(never checked for exhaust and didn't ask if it had a tune) was trapping 119-121mph. So I was decently pleased with the MPH, just have to get all the tranny issues sorted out. Anyone done the new syncro/blocker setup to their TKO and have a before/after comparison? One guy said it'll shift better than a T5 and that's something I really look forward too!
