If thats true then he doesnt know what hes doing. I dont powershift and I run 12.26@113mph. The ET and MPH are closely matched for this car. Maybe powershifting will get a tenth or 2 at best, but to me its not worth destroying the tranny. If I can get someone to host a video of one of my runs, you can hear how fast I shift while still lifting off the gas and using the clutch, from the sound, i honestly dont see how powershifting can make it alot quicker then it is already.
