i dis agree. i think (if your car is stock) its faster just leaving it in d.. if u just throw it n drive n hammer it itl go all the way to ur limiter (which bein stock is like 5k) itl b faster doing that than shifting.. of course thats my opinion

+1 all about keeping the rpm's where the engine makes the most power.

does not help you at all.

Autos are better at the track anyways for how consistent they are. Just tune your auto and your good. Don't go through the shifts. It's pointless.

thats only good for the 1/4 mile so you go thru the traps at nearly 6k rpm in 3rd gear instead of shifting into o/d right before the traps
