37919, Phantom Grip review...

Well aside from a few non-phantom grip related problems w/ my tranny I would say it seems pretty solid so far. (Only about 50 miles tested so far)

The install is pretty strait forward. The only pain in the ass part of it is getting the tranny off and on. If anyone can give me a link or a name of a good tranny lift let me know. I would almost rather pull the block w/ the tranny than having to deal w/ just dropping the tranny.

Anyway, cornering feels a LOT better. I did definitely feel a major difference in the power to the road and traction in the corners as well as on strait aways. From a roll cursing at 30 and dropping it down to 2nd and opening it up I can leave 2 nice black stripes in the street. :-) I can also now leave two lllooonnnggg stripes off the light. All n all I like it vs. the amount of money it cost.

I will probably keep it in for a few months and get a good feel for it before I put the Quaife in. I'm not really in a rush to take that tranny off any time soon.

Good to hear.....how much more traction do you get now from say a 40mph roll as compared to before? For example on my car at 40mph, if I drop it into second my rpms shoot up and bounce off the rev limiter for a sec before my tires "try" to catch. I'm hoping that phantom grip is gonna help that problem.....
