RE: Probably going to the track..need advice
There are a million ways to shift, and MD will probably tell you to keep on the gas if your a quick one, and can make the movement from gear to gear without breaking the engine. I'd say just try to be quick (obviously) without holding the gas down between shifts. Make sure everything is ready before you get to the track, i.e. timing, tire pressure. Lowering tire pressure will give you a little more grip, but dont go below 18psi or so. Make sure after each run you leave enough time in between so the stang doesn't get tooo hot.

RE: Probably going to the track..need advice
I don't know, I haven't run it yet with the mods that I have... I only ran it when it was bone stock. I think though, that I will be somewhere around a 14.8 and after the 4.10's like 14.2's or so... What are you running? I am hoping to get the 4.10's put in like next week or so, then I'll run it.. Lets keep in touch and we'll compare times.
