The weight of the Yb should help you a bit getting the power down tbh.

The engine just came up cheap so decided to do something different, sounds horny when youy drive it well aggressive and loud, silly torque aswell especially in 3rd and 4th gear.

Done a few hundred miles in her now so i though it was time to add some pre load on the actuator rod as it was running none at all, so i turnt it 3 half turns and took her for a spin, all i can say is christ had my bro white Knuckling it round the bends is does an half shift, next is to get it set up and see how much more she or the box can take lol.
