Here's what you need to do to get into the 12's [b]LEARN HOW TO SHIFT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/b] Jesus christ, I have seen old ladies shift faster than you do. 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?[/qb][/QUOTE]I will always lose boost inbetween shifts because I have twin turbos. The first turbo is fully spooled about 3000, then it sends exhaust to the secondary turbo, at 4500 both turbos are on. So usually when I shift my boost will drop a bit. I will not pretend to know everything, thats why I asked you guys this question. I am not sure about my shifting. I can say that I run the car to 8200 then push the clutch in shift it very fast and then slam on the gas. I think what he saw was my 2nd to 3rd shift. Its easy to miss 3rd gear so i sometimes am not as agressive in 3rd gear. I know for a fact I shifted from 3rd to 4th on that run like there was no tomorrow and slammed the gas as fast as I could. I am interested to see what I run in 60 or 70 degree weather. it was 89 degrees when I made that run. Maybe a 1.95 60' or better and a better shift from 2nd to 3rd and .85 bar instead of .84 will push me to high 12's. I'll be in sac tomorrow, so I will see. david[/qb][/QUOTE]you shouldn't be lifting off the gas much, if at all, hehe sequential turbos? [/QB][/QUOTE]
