We put the car in manual mode and shift at 5500 instead of 6400 which tends to take care of the problem.
The Camaro is going to be a very quick car with a few modifications. One of the biggest advantages with the 6L80E cars is the L99 engine with variable valve timing technology. The problem we are now having with out 850 horsepower G8 is that no one will let us run 10's at over 140 without a roll bar, jacket, driveshaft loop, etc... Although we will be running it next week.

I haven't tried leaving from idle yet, I've been foot-braking it to 2000.
