Smoking 'em in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd loses races(not to mentionquickly wearing outthe tires), while not smoking 'em wins races.

13.8 at 117 . . . thats wrong. . .

anyways. . . soon as i got my 4.10's . . . chirp third without trying . . .

with the stock 3.55 . . . just every now and then. . . you have to think. . . our 2cd to 3rd is at about 70 mph w/ 3.55 . . .

no need to bark them for me . . . that just means your losing traction and that makes you slower

Once I got my D/Rs,I was no longer chirping 3rd!LOL!But I was shifting at 6200rpms.

haha those things hook like a mother****er


don't try to chirp third............if u do, great, but if u don't don't wear your clutch/tranny out trying. a good shift is a smooth shift.

how far can you rev through the rpm's before you have to shift in a manual??? does it depend on what mods you have on the car?

I've never heard 3rd chirp, maybe it's my suspension. I'm getting 4.10's installed in T-minus 5 days 12 hours and counting. I'm thinking after the gear swap I might need some better tires. I hope I don't end up in a ditch shifting to third with 4.10's and the stock pirellis.

It depends where your rev limiter is set. Most tuners set it at 6800rpms I think. Stock is something like 6250.
