Okay, I've done my break in period, gotten the oil changed, and she's as smooth as buttah! Will someone please tell me why I'm having a hard time getting past 4500 rpm's? I'm a chicken I swear! All I need is the green light from someone! HELP!!!!!!!!

Merry Christmas!

Craig

go for it! I wouldn't be redlining it right away, but over the next couple hundred miles, slowly bring your shift points higher and higher!! It was a little weird for me at first too, but you soon realixe it's meant for that!
