    Congrat's Mike!
    I know you been looking for it for a while.
    That 1-2 shift HAS to be by feel w/ a t-400.
    When you are leaving like that and try to watch the tach you will miss the shift everytime.
    Judging by that picture,You had to know it was on a pass.
    Are you using Radials or Bias?
