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!

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...

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.
