I'm not having any issues, I love my current setup.
I was just describing early problems and what I did, to try and help out the other fellow.

We had a 'local' event out in Beeville TX yesterday - 70+ second course! I managed 3rd in PAX behind a couple multi nats champs. I was pretty happy with this run, though I did turn in early on a couple elements

Final results aren't up yet, but live are here https://axwaresystems.com/axorm/live...rcolby=paxtime

Note the 3rd gear grab at 1:04. Just a couple seconds of 3rd gear netted a consistent and stable 0.4 second improvement through to the finish vs riding the 2nd limiter. Use 3rd when you can :P

@AustinTX Fun Fact, your car made my 'vision board' this year along with a few other ones. Typed in "STX BRZ" and yours was under images. Needed the motivation to move from DS to STX.

Here's Sunday's outing. 13/74 in PAX, but finally got some class win points towards the end of the year. Not having any power mods and pulling out of the tight decreasing radius turn was painful. Saw some people going 1st there, but my syncros told me otherwise.

Especially on the '17-'20 cars. 2nd gear tops out at such a low speed.

Yeah, mine is a '19. I pushed the limiter to 7800 and am on the 255's which puts me just shy of 61MPH at top of 2nd. Many of our courses have me rev limiting often

Sounds like I should push my limiter up. I'm also on 255's and according to GPS I top out in second at 58mph.

60.6 for me with Yok 255's and 7800 limiter.
