Default 10 Second auto C5's

A question for those who are running an auto C5 between 10.00 - 10.99 sec.
What transmission shield are you using ?

Thanks

Hey Doug, make sure you get to talk to our Challenge racers on the 17th. I'm sure you will have 4 or 5 of us there. You also have the Bradenton, Jersey, California, and the Carolina's

Transmission shields would be great. If they were made available as a true bolt-on, that would be a big plus.
