SHifting and Trap speeds......

OK, so I guess a more agressive launch will yeild higher traps and I know better 1/4 times.

So I guess what I am saying is that a real agressive launch and a 5 second or faster 330 foot time will yelid higher traps or are traps gona be the same and only the 1/4 time can change with shifting (to a point).


Just wondering cuz I am racing with a stock clitch, pretty docil launch at 5000 rpms, slip till moving, then bang it, shift at 7500, do a slow 330 shift @ 5.5 seconds. I do this cuz my car does not like 1-2 shifts that much , also teh stock clutch is simply not holding the power.

Also do you thing a better clutch and 6000 RPM launch and a quicker 330 foot time will yeild a better trap?
