+1 on the eye protection. I meant to put that in there but forgot. So much grit and sand gets caught up in the heatsheilds and what not. Be careful. Eyes are important.

Well, after driving my car all weekend. I've decided to keep the option 2 mounts in my car for now. I was on the fence of whether or not I liked them and the new sound. This weekend was HOT and I believe the mounts are starting to wear in a bit so they aren't as stiff as they were when first installed. Sorry for being a flip flopper soap opera of whether I like them or not.

I haven't had anymore denied 1->2 shifts. When I do get the 1-2 denied shifts, I am shifting fast and pull the shifter into 2nd as fast as I can. I guess y'all are right and I just need to modify my behavior to gracefully but quickly put it in 2nd. Like dekaliber said, there is time because the engine needs to drop revs. Drag racing is lame anyways. I usually just use first to get the car moving and use 2nd to put some power down.
