powershifting isnt good for the car in general

plus... u shouldnt shift while spraying imo

i wouldnt do it unless you have a window switch because if you hit the rev limiter when you powershift, your motor will blow. i personally powershift, but i dont have my nitrous in yet. you can bet your ass when i get a short throw shifter and my nitrous with a window switch, im gonna power shift it.

If go ahead as long as your like 1,500 away from redline

Haha probs not the best idea. It will help your time but at the same time risk something going BOOM

ive always been told that if you want a new clutch go ahead and powershift a few times then shell out the money. (words of my wise old man haha)

SWEET2KSTANG · April 8th, 2009, 11:37 PM

powershifting and sprying is playing with fire. if you powershift and do it wrong, you are looking at possibly hurting the trans. that goes for power adder or not, you have to ask yourself if its worth the risk. i power shift at the track, i am willing to take th risk of blowing my shit. (wll i guess thats obvious

)

chefalan23 · April 9th, 2009, 12:08 AM

last time i had my car at the track i powershifted 8 passes. 2 things happened

1. i got my best e.t. ever

2. it felt like i put 50k on my drivetrain

and that is with no F.I.

thepizzle44 · April 9th, 2009, 12:10 AM

make for BOOOOOOMMMM.....be careful with that shit

Just what i was looking for...

I know powershifting is risky... Just wanted to hear somebody say they did it with spray without problems... Thanks...

SWEET2KSTANG · April 9th, 2009, 01:04 AM

i blew 1 intake manifold up doing it. there are risk involved.

bullitt ak · April 9th, 2009, 01:06 AM

sounds like a recipe for disaster to me

SWEET2KSTANG · April 9th, 2009, 01:10 AM

gotta pay to play, got to ask yourself is it worth it.....

chefalan23 · April 9th, 2009, 01:11 AM

its kind of like screwing strippers without a rubber, you can do it and get away with no consequences, but there's a good chance you're going to have some burning as a result.

jivepepper · April 9th, 2009, 05:23 AM

I never power shift and my times have always been on the fair side because of it but I been using a stock tr3650 for 6 years past it's saftey rating and it's still hanging on.

Eagle2000GT · April 9th, 2009, 11:59 AM

I used to powershift in the days before rev limiters. I also tore up both the motor and transmission in the blink of an eye. If you can't afford to break it, don't power shift.
