Default power shifting...

Just wondering who does it. Anddo you floor it the whole time or what. as for me i only power shift 3rd i am afraid to do 2nd because of stock tires, maybe try half throttle, any one do full or half throttle powershifting in second. any clue as to how much time you dropped from not power shifting. now just from ps third i dropped 2-3.tenths off my time. so hopefully if i can get my 60ft down to a 2.0 and if i am able to ps second i can get 13.5 or better, best time so far is 13.9 @102 with a 2.2 60ft.

You need to get the 60' down more than you need to powershift.
With that said, I'm running 275 nitto's out back and all hell breaks loose if I try to powershift second. Then again, I'm probably running twice the RWHP as you are.

sometimes tires arent the right answer....... once you reach a certian point you will NEED to address suspension.
