to bigger gear ,at around 7000rpm.will take logs today and sent those to cobb.

maybe shiftpoint is too high for tranny ...or cant handle torque at around 7000rpm,
or something else...well ...have to find out what.i am using 98 octane .
I had similar issues. It was hitting 7k in sport mode, and I didn't like it at all. I switched to Drive and have been very happy.

I have heard that 98 octane in other countries is only comparable to 91 or 93 in the US...maybe you just don't meet the requirements for Sport?
