I would think, (at the track) this new set up would be slower.
Just a question, has anyone considered "building" the tranny? Has anyone ever "broke" their transmission yet from excessive power?
The clicking was my using the paddle shifters to get out of 4th and into 5th/6th ... and then a couple extra for good measure ... because I wish I had more gears :-)

Also, the sound on this one is a lot lower for a few reasons. On the previous video's I had most of the under covers off, the engine cover off, and the "cold air box" for the AEM dry flow cone filter removed. On this last one I have all those things back on (it makes a big difference in the sound coming into the cockpit). If it was a little above 4F (-15.5C) air temps outside I might have tried opening the windows.

The data I'm seeing would indicate a different impact at the track...
