If you read his first post, he only powershifted 2-3 and 3-4. That means that his 1-2 shift was the main culprit for such a time slip. As you (Alberto) mentioned his 1/8 is extremely weak, which further proves his lackluster 1-2 shift. His back 1/8 isn't too bad. So his main three things he needs to change are his tires firstly, launching, and his 1-2 shift. The 2-3 and 3-4 powershifts aren't too bad, but I don't see how he can do that if he's shifting that slowly from 1st to 2nd.


He's only gained 18.81 mph in the last 1/8.
Arithmetic was never my best subject.

The temps were almost the same, if not hotter this last time. I talked to him briefly before the run and told him how i launched the car and that i lift on the 1-2 shift, but not the others. My trap speed is affected by 2mph and my et the same, if i lift on all shifts.

Mr. Kebo.. Put some tires on that thing and see what it will really do. Hell, if you have your jack in your car next time i see you. I'll let you use my 275's.

That or let me drive... LMFAO! j/k man
