I have never installed a CAGS bypass like Corvette Central says because I drive my Corvettes with CAGS in a manner that I almost never have the system enable and when it does, I just ignore it.
The biggest complaint I hear is from those who short shift out of first, even when turning left against oncoming traffic. They start their left turn, then do their usual short shift and get fourth. At the same time they notice oncoming traffic is closer than they thought and decide to accelerate to get out of the intersection quickly. Of course, they are in fourth gear rather than second and, with oncoming traffic, the slow acceleration is, understandably, unnerving. I never shift during a left turn.
That said, if a bypass is what you need, with all Corvettes after 1995, CAGS became a monitored system for OBD2 diagnostics so can't just unplug the CAGS solenoid like you could on 89-95. Your only choice is to install one of those gizmos that fools the ECM into thinking the solenoid is there or to have a tuner disable CAGS in the ECM calibration.
