It builds speed/revs sooooo fast in 1st and 2nd, shifting fast enough is a challenge. Maybe a shift light will help. ?? The M12 tranny is probably overkill.

The car is just brutally quick when pushed hard yet cruises fine in 6th gear at 1000RPM.

It's just schizophrenic as hell and amazingly fun toy.
Yeah I'm surpised you had them put the Z06 trans in there and didn't just put 3.42s back in w/ the MN6. The MN12 is = to your old setup w/ the 3.90 gears in everything other than 4th because it's 1:1 in both setups.
