Glad to see you finally gave up on the Tremec's. I tried a Jerico once, for just a handfull of laps at the Glen. Really sweet on the way up, just breathed it ever so slightly and gave it a tug, just like butter. Understand you can do full power upshifts, but it wasn't my car. Now going down was another matter. It would go easy enought, but trying to match the revs that quickly (and it was a small block, so no FE cr*p please) proved dangerous and difficult. Lots of practice needed here. There was multiple references to wheel hop under braking/downshifting on the NASCAR Glen coverage, so be careful. After one especially exciting attempt at turn one, I just slapped at the clutch and got on with business.

R/A sounds like a lot of fun, give it run and send some pictures.
