Ed Wright upped my line pressures and that fixed the problem your talking about, heck the car spins the tires shifting into 2nd gear :cheers:

Yeah, describe lag. It could be as simple at a shift point adjustment.

Mine's the same way (but with 3.15s and only 300rwhp), drops into 3rd and nothing. I think mine won't do a 4-2 over 60 :(

Sounds like your car is not down shifting properly, programing should take care of your problem.
