You are costing yourself AT LEAST 3 tenths in your shifting. Watching your car, the front end would completely settle between shifts. Put your right foot on the floor, and leave it there until you cross the finish line. Sorry if this sounds harsh, but life sucks Brian[/qb][/QUOTE]Shade.. I have the stock 4.10 gears. Brain: thanks for that colorful analysis. While I have been working on my shifting and I agree I can improve, I shifted damn hard from 3rd to 4th. and yes my foot was floored passed the finish line. I was at 6000 rpm in 4th when I passed. I need to work on 1st to 2nd and more importantly from 2nd to 3rd.[/qb][/QUOTE]dude, he means keep your right foot down between shifts, AKA speed shift if you are quick enough to use the clutch, and power shift if you dont use the clutch, lol PS powershifting, very bad. you live in san leandro? if you want I can give you some pointers..... if you are shifting like he says your are, you are more than likely losing a little boost in between shifts?
