Default Second Gear Push

2000 Coupe Hatchback

When I accelerate hard and going from first to second, there is a distinct and much appreciated "push." That is, an extra kick in the pants as it were. Is this from the transmission, fuel injection or some other element of the Corvette? Just curious.

Its a combination of all the things you list. In addition, the peak hp & tq is obtained between the 1-2 & 3-4 shifts due to engine rpm.
