but i can't get the 3-4 shift.
i was constant 9.8's in the 1/8th today...i just couldn't get movin, i guess it was hot outside or the car was hot...but, i cut a 2.210 60', personaly best...but not great.
that's my story for the day

That's a really good 60ft! I just got some 245 tires so I hope I can get that low.
You shift from 3-4 in the 1/4?

It jsut takes practice, I hit 2.106, on 235s [img]smile.gif[/img]

course limited slip helps, jsut needs practice, i got a whole hell of alot of 2.2 60 foots with my 3.23s, and open rear end.

yep...it's not a good idea to run 3rd all the way out, i usually shift at 5500 rpm 3-4...
i trap around 91-92 mostly...but i did get 93 once, i was boucning off the limiter

When I run most of the time it hits the rev limiter at 95 but ever since I cut my airbox it will go to 98. I trap at 94 while still in 3rd.
