Because it 6650 comes up really fast in first gear in my Z and by the time you shift at 5k it will run up to close to 6k+ and I don't want that miss in first gear.
btw: I only had one run with a 1.9 60' last night. The rest were low 2.00x's

oh i didnt understand what you meant, i thought the actual shift itself was happening at 5000. so the 1.9 is whats normal for you i assume? could just be an out of practice thing.

well i ordered a new MAF so that oughta be here by weds. also hoping that the kptechnologies flatfoot shifting/2step test module shows up soon so i can get it set up for wednesday. oh the joys of wiring crap into the car

BTW: "the race" link in your sig doesnt seem to be alive anymore

My first shift is at 5k. I have my stealthy kp shift light set for 5k (it lights up the whole cabin) Then after that I have time to actually watch the tach and I have the 5k heads up from the shift light.

Yes, I need to link "The Race" again. You can see it if you have Myspace, under Fowlman. It's worth checking out the chicks anyway.

yeah ive thought about getting one of those shift lights, but since im not running like 11s its not a problem for me to pay attention and since i rev out to 7100 i have plenty of time in first gear to see whats happening and i dont have to start shifting at 5k which also gives me a bunch more time. in other words, i have stuff i need more but i think it would probly help.

I dont have myspace so ill just have to wait. I never really got into myspace, dunno why

I think I run out of 1st gear before 60'. I have a 6MT rear ratio in my Z. It happens very quickly.
Yeah, I only go on myspace to pick up young chicks.
I will re-link the movie.

I should make it back out. Even though I don't have a Z anymore. ;-( It's always fun. I think I start a new job in the city next week. So, maybe in a couple of weeks I can show up after work. I'll just drive into the city that day.

The only thing I have to race these days is the Firebird cause the guyz are still dicking around with the wiring on the Camaro. They will never be real racers. They spend too much time fooling around.

The Civic Si is a nice mountain car but, is pretty slow at the track. I've been wondering what the F100 would do on the track. I'm sure it's in the 17-18's. Just wondering.

I'd like to TT the Firebird and may just do that if I get this PG&E job and some cash in the bank.

Anyways, it would be fun to watch and snap some pictures of you guys racing.

When is the kart benefit Walt? Already passed this year?

I really miss my Z..... and it hasn't even been two month...... I hate shitty drivers. However, I think I'll get a 370Z in the second year of production....

Here's my POS Honda until the 370Z comes out. Or, I can afford the GTR.



In memory of the Z:

In memory of the Z:

Hey! How did the accident work out? The Kart thing is in March. I didn't do it this year. Let me know when you are coming out and I will make it a point to be there.

We could have a meet up here if someone was willing to put it together. We had a good one from San Rafael to Bodega a couple years ago. We certainly have the good roads up here.
