I got the transmision back from Competition Transmissions and Gears in North Carolina this week. I changed the gearing to a better setup for the road courses. I ended up with 2.24, 1.73, 1.30, 1.0 gears. My Dad and I just finished installing it and my Daughter and I took it for a spin to make sure all it good...and it is!

I will be driving Blu Balz in Las Vegas next week and then back to my Camaro for a few local events and the Goodguys in June at the Pleasanton Fairgrounds.

I have 3.70 rear ratio. We will see how it is. I may go to a 3.89 if 2nd gear is a bit too tall. I like to run 2nd gear on most autocross courses. 1st gear will be good for the peanut Goodguys courses or slow portions of other autocross courses. The beauty of this transmission is that it is so easy to shift up and down (no clutch).

That's why I did not go that route. It is just generic window moulding just about any installed would have.

You gonna do the AAS thing at Buttonwillow at the end of next month? I was watching the videos of that, and it looked fun! If not I'll probably be at Good Guys at Pleasanton. I'm going to the National Tour this weekend and there's only one other camaro:willy:
