placed the same in pax as well. the mid ga region is mostly a close group of regulars that always race so they have a pretty large advantage on me.

Re: lastest autox...

Re: lastest autox...

It usually won't let it hit the redline. I know I never could before using the Hypertech programmer. Now I have to watch it when I really get on it hard.

Re: lastest autox...

I tried it in second for one of my runs and it felt slow as hell - I shifted back into drive the first chance I got. I'll try it in first next time
