Who's using Blue Tops?
Who's using Blue Tops?
I'm thinking of getting some for next racing season. (no points added) I've read a lot on the LX forums but would like to know who has them in their Crossfire and exactly what and how they've worked out. I searched a bit and know Xray has them and likes them. So give me all your words of wisdom so I can buy in confidence. If you don't know what they are ...... well, I don't mind if you comment or ask.

Re: Who's using Blue Tops?
Les, I think I would feel safer using the blue tops AFTER the Wavetrac LSD install....
Everything I have read on them is positive...just that the shifts are firm to VERY firm....(depending on personal feel) ...some mention of running in W mode for normal street driving to soften the take offs....

I have heard the same thing. I just found a tranny shop about 30 miles from here. Going to go visit. They do a lot of track work...Going to see if can do anything with mine. Taking my mechanical engineer buddy with me. He retired from allison transmission here in Indy. Picking his brain as well. Rudy gave us some pointers awhile back, and he has Paul's kicking really well...so there is hope.
