you would of had a mid 14 second run if you would of caught the gear. how much boost are you running it seems like your only getting about 50-60 extra horses with the boost, guessing from your trap speed.

Trap speed doesn't mean anything if he let off from wheelspin. It could be 100 mph without letting off...

Just put the shifter into the manual mode and redline each gear and let the computer shift. If you do it yourself, it's worthless. When in tiptronic it gets a higher rpm out of each gear.

Yeah isn't the inherent advantage of an auto over a 5-speed the lightning-quick computer shifting?

9 psi and but only that run it would have been a mid 14.... My best time for the day was 14.98 at 99.67mph, still with a bad Launch and spinning in 2nd, and 3rd. But after 3 runs me and a few other guys started working on the car for like 30 minutes.

The next run I would have ran an 13.5-13.9, and even caught 2nd but than I miss 3rd and shifted in 5th..LOL And the person in the lane next to me ran a 14.3 at 95mph. But it's funny because I passed the person soon as I shifted to 2nd (had them by 1/2 a car) and pulling hard..so definitely blew my chances for hopes of 13's.... Then they closed the track......

Very true!!!!! And remember I only had 3 days to master stick on my car, just did the 5-speed swap last sunday. And out of the 7 days I used 4 to break the Spec stage 3 clutch.
