This post is one of the most significant I have read on this forum in a long time, especially since I am an advocate of highest gear when ever possible.

I do know the VX trannies 3rd gear is good for close to 120 mph at redline.

Please don't take this wrong, doesn't the vertical location of your guino on the windshield pillar interfere with your vision, especially in such acritical area as where a head on swerving into your lane would be "recognition delayed" by the guino location.

Personally, I would move it higher or lower, outside of the sight line to oncoming traffic on 2 lane roads. It might be considered nit picking but that exact area of visibility has saved me from a few catastrophic head on collisions, giving me time to swerve to the right to avoid the impact, which could have killed me.

I highly admire your work in it's quality and execution and this post could be interpreted as "picky-petty", which is not it's intent.
