I have no clue.hahahaha. trying to make a few minor changes and Ill head back to the track. This time ill be a little more aware. I know my shifts were still quick but the 1st 3 gears went by sooo fast im not super sure if my shift points were perfect. According to my dyno graph, my shift points should be right around 8k. The only thing different to my trans is i have the evo 9 1st gear and all the other goodies shep recommended for my build.

sick mph, nice job by Junior as always. Once you get that launch down you'll get a 10sec pass so easily

How tall is your tire? 4th gear would only do high 126+'s and bounce off the limiter @ 8,000 for me

245.45.17
