Hope there was no traffic around as you hit 130 mph.

That wasn't an opinion, but rather concern for your safety and possibly those of others on the road.

Now that it's clear it was away from traffic, good driving.

it sounds like ur close to redline on all ur shifts? is that where ur power band is? idk if it is or not, but find out ur power band and shift within it for most potential power. if u over rev n go beyond or before ur power band u lose power.

n deff try not to power shift. ouch on the tranny. transmissions are no fun n deff are time consuming even for an experienced shop. power shifting = bye bye synchros, bc they will break. replacing synchros are a pain in the weiner to replace. also, i believe there is a plastic link in the shift assembly, and that will break too if u r rough during shifts. just a forewarning, because u seem like a blown tranny is a walk in the park. lol. no fun.

thanks for the advice ya i only shift like that when i am at the track(or in this vid to se what to improve upon)i shift at 6700 which is fine as far as the powerband goes. the last thing i want to do is have my synchros break. i had the pin replaced already like 2 weeks after i got the car so i am good there.

bump it
