Best $170 spent ever!

The Deuce · 11-13-2002, 03:10 AM

I love my tri-ax. Put it in tonight, man what a difference. Only took it up to my shakedown spot, but WOW. Normally I get a little rubber in second up there, but I got some good slip. It was sweet.

So what, a shifter is good for about 10rwhp, right? I'm only kidding.

I can tell its faster, hence more rubber, and I know when I get used to it, it might even be good for .05, maybe. Guess its time to hit the track again.

If you have the means, I highly suggest picking one up.

I know what you mean I put a Tri-ax in my 5.0 last year and I knocked off almost 2 tenths in the 1/4. I love the way it clicks into gear.

congrats,

Tri-ax... that steeda? Or just a brand name?

Is it hard to install?

Yes, Steeda Tri-ax shifter......No its not hard to install, it took me about 30 minutes to do the install and I agree with Deuce...Its some of the best money I have spent.

It has very firm shifts and clicks into gear with authority, not to mention the spring loaded 2nd to 3rd gear shift.

It is quite choice,

Yeah, what Dark said. Really, that much? Man I've got to get back down to the track.

RH-I took pictures of every step, since I wanted to have it documented, incase I need to do a swap back for some reason. If you decide to go with one, let me know and I'll send you a zip of the pics, as an aide to the instructions they provide. (the instructions are decent anyway)

I've got a tri-ax on my car too, I didn't take any pictures of the install though. Deuce, do you think you can email me those pictures so that I can put them on my website, in the how to section, I'll be sure to give you credit.

That's a great idea, I'll have to take you up on that offer when I get some free time to do it. Thanks a lot!
