I was just wandering how you guys shift. I have some friends with ZO6's that power shift and run 12.70s, I haven't run my car yet, but just wandering about you guys getting low 13 runs stock. Cause I raced a ZO6 from about 50mph in 2nd gear til about 120, and was right by each other, nobody was pullin. So if you don't powershift maybe you should try even though it is bad for the car, but anyway
How do you shift??

In a word...."Quickly".
I haven't found that leaving my foot down is worth the risk. I could be wrong but I won't know until next year. I run till I've burried 6000RPMS and shift as fast as possible.
I do not pull my foot back much on the gas and my new clutch will probably let me push a little less to get the job done now.
I know this....I will run 12.50's on street tires my first time out and as long as I get there I'll be happy.
The next jump will be in power because I want 11.80's all day.

Well that's what I'm sayin. I'm not sure if I'm gonna power shift my car, but like I said these ZO6s are runnin 12.70s power shiftin, and It's very easy to lose a tenth between gears. So maybe Well make those couple tenths back up and be right there, cause as far as power the cars are about the same. Like I said from 50 to 120 it was da same. So it seems like it's all shiftin. Well thats my 2 cents Later
