I love the feeling of the power, but nailing second at 7000+ and having the car in two lanes gets a bit scary. I need beam plates

yes you do. so cough it up before you stuff the beast into the gaurd rail.

before I had the beam plates I power shifted second and the car stepped out so fast that I hit my head on the drivers window and almost blacked out.

on the lower hp 93 LPE, the REAR of the beam plate losened up so bad the shifter was moving up and down 2".

these little buggers do work. had em on 4 ZR-1s now, don't leave home without em. the harder you drive the car, the more you notice the difference they make. worth it in easing the maint chore of doing the beam dance. getting to those top nuts is a royal PITA made ez by the captured nut beam plate.

save up some of that beer and date $$$ my young friend. you owe it to the car to JUST DO IT!!!

Ron,
