Shifting with a SC?
Hey, i bought a a new max over teh weekend (will sell my old one), I'll post the specs on this beast later, but it has a SC (and intercooler from a volvo) and too much custom work to mention. It is 5spd, is shifting any different with the SC? Some questions: what are teh max speeds to be in each gear, like when racing or say downshifting? How do you best launch a SC max when racing from start or roll? Thanks.
I've been driving stick for a week, so I'm no expert, but getting better by the day.

As for not damaging the engine... running any car hard will wear it away... I've bounced off the redline a lot when I first installed my S/C...
