Are your RPM's jumping up faster than you are accelerating?

no it seems to be normal, I'm thinking that maybe when I get on it I put alot of stress on the belt or the fan which cause it to squeek when I get on it, it only makes a quick chirp squeek noise when I shift into the 2nd gear going very fast and high rpms

I don't get this on my 98.5...I wonder if its something with your clutch engaging. A stage 2 clamps harder, this might cause a noise at high RPM's. Do you notice it right as it goes into gear?

Grinding going into the gear,BFlan2001, you cant really do anything except a new tranny or synchro, i did it one day racing and it started to grind, then it just got worse and then i race again and that was the end of it.
