Have you had your car to the track yet? It seems a lot of people running the 3.73's complain about banging the rev limiter before hitting the traps, defintely more so with the cars making more than stock power.

Nope, haven't even really played with launching the car. One of these years Ill take her out and see how she does on a race track.

I have been to the track with a 3:73 car that is non Brembo and no tune just a cold air/horrible driver. I do not hit the limiter and shift at 6,800-7,000. The non brembo cars with the 245/45 19 is a 27.7 inch tall tire which helps. The brembo guys have a 255/40 19 which is a 27 inch tall tire. That is part of the reason for the rev limiter issue. The 3:73 do get you in the band nicely.
