Was there any shifting issue due to reaching max RMP so much faster?

I've seen the IMA Twin installed on a car at the shop where it is produced. It is very sexy.

I have a Vivid Racing VR996CT Turbo set up. Very impressed, I dynoed 402hp & 368tq to the wheels, the power builds early and pulls strong! Car sounds unbelievably good, last track event I went too, guys in Vipers and Ferrari's came to me and said I had the best sounding car on the track. I have several videos on YouTube under VR996CT if your interested in learning more.
