Sounds like a short shifter might do you even better. What kind of launch did you do. Careful with that though youll wreck your clutch with the 3rd gear launches, I did. Then you get to call south bend.

you're right about the clutch. ran again tonight and first pass 13.66 second 13.75, missed 5th, then came back and ran a 13.46 with a 1.97 60'. had to do it again and ran a 13.41 with a 1.94 60'. i'll post the slips again. one of them is hard to read though. same speed of 100 mph though. wierd if you ask me. clutch was slippin in 5th and 6th on the 13.41 pass. i'll be orderin me a dual disc before long i think.

I guessing youre not going to tell us your launch secret because about 5 people have asked......
Did you lift off the accelerator when you shifted gears?
but only if you want to tell us

Yeah, if it is a secret fine, but just tell us somethin.
It will be a while before I can make it to the track but I want all the info I can get about launchin and shiftin, like do you let off to shift, if so how much and that type of thing.

cody don't know how to speed shift. he can barely shift good enough to go down the road. what about you, can you break em off in the flatbed? or does fason need to teach you how?
