I'm hoping that the sc keeps enough HP that it won't drop into passing gear or overdrive.

Obviously if this is your 3rd supercharged H2, it must be worth it. Hopefully it'll pay off.

Thanks,

Out, you're dropping out of overdrive, not into it. When it's cruising in top gear, it's in overdrive. When it's in 3rd, it's 1:1.

I still have a friend that calls a tranny a trammy. Everybody looks at him funny when he says that he's going to change his "trammy" fluid.
