Here's me merging onto the highway with her. I wasn't the one who honked. Someone honked at the moron driver blocking our lane I think lol. She's running pretty good.

Sounds great,. The rpm drop between gears seems really nice.

She is definitely is benefiting from it no doubt.

Drob responded and said the gears shouldn't, mess with the tune. He said that he'd look at some logs for me though to make sure everything looks okay. I get a weird oscillation sometimes at certain low rpms. I ordered this box to fix my Speedometer issue.

Is there a breakin period? And what fluid do they recommend to use?
No break in. Fluid depends. I posted their faq page below which goes into the fluid part.

Damn, that's the same gear oil that goes in my Diff. Those are some heavy duty gears. Your going to have fun shifting when those Ohio winters come around. Or not :)

God now we have the transmission to worry about? Fck man it's one thing after another. I'm at 36K running SRI + Phearable 1.5 on stock clutch and havent had any issues yet. I'm hoping it stays that way.

You don't have anything to worry about. The OP is full bolt-on, if I remember also running ethanol, and above 300 whp. As long as you don't have any plans to do full bolt on, build out your motor etc. you're fine

Could you get a video of starting from a stop and casually shifting up? Would like to see what the rpms look like, if you could. If not, no biggie.

I'll do it but it might take a minute. I'll be getting my speedometer corrector box in tomorrow and I need to put that in.

Nice, so pretty much looks like 1000 rpm drop each gear.

I got in my Dakota Digital SGI-100BT and installed it today. The oscillation that I was experiencing seems to be gone now that I installed the unit but time will tell. Feels good having a working speedometer again.

I also had my tires rotated and had an alignment done because Honda didn't do it, for whatever reason apparently because it was pretty far out. She's gripping real nice now running better then ever IMO.
