Top of 1st pedal vibration
Fixed,
Apparantly bad plug wire on one of the cylinders somewhere (damn those Taylors). After hearing everyones issues with the Taylors I went down to NAPA and picked up some Beldin wires with a lifeteime warranty for 50 bucks. Slapped those bad boys on and HOLY CRAP.
I guess with the misfire codes turned off, and the lope of the cam its hard to know if you have a slight misfire. Apparantly mine was only hemmoraging at high load (> 5800rpm ). Went out today to test the car after the new wires and dear God. I'm sure some of it is the new PCM code, we put in yesterday but when we put the Gen V on Tuesday I thought the car felt pretty good with some slight problems up top, but now the car just feels awesome. It has never felt better and the vibration at the top of 1st is gone. I have not yet tested the "wall" at 102 but i'm going to try tonight.
If you have taylors be sure to check them out.

Well I conceed defeat on the race for the #2 spot that'* for sure, with a gen V and LSD I can't keep up. You should be able to pull a 12
Let us know if that new code fixed that wall issue, maybe it sounds like you found some more power too perhaps.
