Thanks for the offer Pappy. The 1-2 shift is my biggest gripe. It's impossible to shift it quick. The 2-3 grind above 6500 ain't to much fun either but I don't really give a **** until it breaks.
As long as it goes in... To be honest I only shift above 6500 when I'm racing and have no idea what rpm I'm running. Normal shifts are in the 6200-6500 range. $500 seems reasonable if the results are worth the trouble and funds.
