I probably won't do it until next winter anyways, I am only having the 1st gear issues and they seem to be getting better.

TK is way better than stock.
wish you could go higher than 5k for the two step. from my findings 6500 seems to be the spot with MT et streets on the back.
I feel your pain.I went quicker at the track with the stock key cause of the 5000 rpm max launch.6500 is the sweet spot for lauching these car's on slicks.

If you want to launch higher than the 5000 max with TK. Just push the clutch in till it doesn't grab then rev past the 5K and stick the clutch to the floor and keep it above 5K. I tryed it the other night and it worked.

What slicks is everyone using? on the stock rims?
I ran yesterday. used mt et streets 26x11.5 on a 17" stock 06 wheels. aired down to 13psi. best 60" of the day was 1.713 thats good for the track I was at as there track prep is just about non exsistant.

I was planning on testing that, but the weather hasn't cooperated. Probably could set it to 2k then use the same trick.
 
I have a lift so that made the install easier. But the assembly of the 2 pieces capturing the bushings I did from up top through the hole. I have installed a couple of them. It's not as hard as it looks. Watch the video carefully 20 times like I did!!!

I will say this: I know not every one can buy a lift or has a place for one, so you must use ramps or stands. But be careful. I had a good friend killed when the car fell on him. He had owned his own shop for many years and jacked up hundreds of cars and I am sure he was knowledgible about doing this. But something happened.
