@@OVRBoosted no lol I tried that it was much worse. I felt it was better because I could actually floor the car without it feeling like it wanted to keep down shifting. I have a GT tho.
It performs exactly as promised. If you've ever encountered the transmission abruptly shifting down after you manually shifted up, you understand the frustration it can cause. This feature effectively prevents that from happening.
Let's be completely honest with one another. The method you employed for testing was likely the most effective approach. However, it introduced a considerable number of variables. Conducting three runs for each test and then calculating the average of the results will almost always yield different outcomes. I will say it’s not for everyone, but if you’ve ever experienced the sudden downshift when you upshifted the transmission, it’s worth the $20. Sorry, you had to pay almost double. That’s not because of BMS it’s just the price of doing Buisness in Canada.
@@Gunny6113 Correct, there was a lot of variables at play. I believe I address those variables the best I can with what I have. It’s extremely hard to test and get a dead set number. I put together these videos for free to just try and help people. So they know what a normal person, like myself can expect. I am no expert nor do I claim to be. I have no bias or resentment towards any product. If you go on a lot of fb groups you watch people over hype certain things. I’m trying to show what you will receive and how it works along with details on installing certain products. As for this particular product , it’s not for everyone, but it does serve a purpose for some and it does block the transmission activating it’s downshift switch. The price of doing business in Canada is definitely not worth a 20 cent part. That’s just wrong. To make that part a bit more affordable and worth it, maybe offer other shipping options. I don’t believe FedEx is the best option all the time. If we are completely being honest with one another, the advertisement does say “When drag racing launching in 2nd gear and avoiding the kick-down into 1st will dramatically improve your 60' time on street tires”. I don’t see it dramatically decreasing 0-60 times. That test is pretty easy to replicate removing variables.
The performance comes from the strip in a RWD. When you want to launch in 2nd, punch it, drops to 1st, breaks loose the tires because you have 15-18 lbs of boost built up. Then you up shift, but in that split second it already changed to 2nd so you actually shift to 3rd... then you're at 3k rpm in 3rd instead of 4k...😅 ask me how i know...
I like the idea of this for the purpose of not having the trans down shift when you're in manual mode. Now if they made something to stop the upshifts when you get to the limiter in manual mode..... (RWD life....)
I think some of you are missing the point of the kick down blocker. It's simply to keep the car from kicking down when you floor it. You can do this manually by not pushing the kick down switch as well but you have to train your foot to stop. Put it in manual mode and it will stay in whatever gear you select instead of down shifting.
You’re absolutely correct? Before I installed the blocker I was playing with the peddle. I could definitely feel where the “factory” switch is to activate the kick down sequence.
Not worth it for us Canadians!!! really $25.00 for shipping!! That's absurd !! I try to get BMS products from a local dealer here in Edmonton but its not that much cheaper even then. I try my best to buy stinger parts from Canadian retailers but we don't have near what the states has for this platform. I do like N75 and Uniq Performance . All in all your 10 cent piece was wasn't worth but I always love to see your videos and appreciate your content as always. Keep the videos coming !! Would be cool to have a Stinger Alberta meet tho.....
I agree, I try to order out of Canada as much as possible. That blocker is probably only 10 cents. When you check out on the bms website there is only 1 shipping option, fedex for 25.00. Talk about exploiting something. Plus the part with my testing literally made zero difference.
In auto mode it shifts down, but thats wht ypu want when racing . At least that makes sense to me , when i drive manual i shift down to race Same idea isnt it ?
Yes it’s the same idea, but the blocker prevents the shift down in manual. In manual shifting your car will shift down if you floor it. If you’re in 3rd gear manual mode and are cruising along at 3500rpm in 3rd gear then floor it the car will auto shift to second even know you’re in manual. The blocker does prevent that giving you a little more control over the car.
It is quick, but a lot of guys are much quicker then myself. I run a jb4 on map 4, intakes, cat back borla, lap 3 tcu tune. That’s basically it for performance mods.
@@abulhashem-jc9mv I think the jb4 is the best bang for the buck. I think you get around 100 hp gain for great value. As for the lap 3 TCU ( that’s only for the transmission) it doesn’t make a tone of difference besides a better launch then stock.
I’m not from around that area. Maybe try a google search for stations around you that might have it. If it’s around there will be threads on it I’m sure.
Yes you can, but the gt2 doesn’t have that style shifter. You can only put it in reverse, neutral and drive. It does not move to the left like the shift by cable shifters do.
Yea I'm not a fan of this plastic thingy, also in order to achieve a faster 0-60 time, let the car shift at red line in first and second then 5800 for the rest.
I have tried shifting at redline on the first to second shift, but I find I have got a bit better times banging that 1-2 shift at 4800. I’ll definitely try it again to see if the red line 1-2 shift can shave a 10th or so off.
@@OVRBoosted 5800,5000,5500 and then let 5th gear rid out if you’re doing 130. I trap 118-19 so unless I’m going for 130 I’ll just shift around 120 to 6th
I’ve had mine since I convinced Terry to make em lol. It helps a lot and makes driving better. Love mine. Improved my 60ft too
I couldn’t get much of a difference to be honest. Du you launch in 2nd gear? Cause that wasn’t good in my case.
@@OVRBoosted no lol I tried that it was much worse. I felt it was better because I could actually floor the car without it feeling like it wanted to keep down shifting. I have a GT tho.
This is awesome, good idea!
It definitely does what it was designed to do. It gives you better control of the gear in manual.
It’s definitely an interesting aspect.
It performs exactly as promised. If you've ever encountered the transmission abruptly shifting down after you manually shifted up, you understand the frustration it can cause. This feature effectively prevents that from happening.
Definitely agree, but as for increasing performance? I don’t see it. I think it’s beneficial to get rid of the annoyance you suggested.

The idea of it is good, but there wasn’t really any performance difference that I noticed. My test basically concluded the exact same average times.
Anything that uoshifts in manual mode is trash ( please tell me this doesn't because I just bought a g70)

Pedal commander/Jb4 is a must on a Stinger. No need for the blocker.
I think you are correct, I haven’t tried the paddle commander, but the blocker doesn’t do all that much.

Can't you just drive it in manual?... I just slap my shifter to the left and drive it with the shifter
Yes you can, but the gt2 doesn’t have that style shifter. You can only put it in reverse, neutral and drive. It does not move to the left like the shift by cable shifters do.
@OVRBoosted oh OK, see. I believe it's electronic shifting on the GT2.. Do you like that more, or would you have preferred shift by wire?
