I don't think a ton, definitely not a full tenth if it's the 2-3 shift.

If you're power shifting and it hits the limiter I doubt it will be more than a few thousandths.

yeah i know that is the plan bud but i was at the track in great air and it starting hitting the limiter on me anywhere between 2-3 times on the shift was just wondering what my time would have been without hitting, would defintely tuned it if i could...
didn't know if anyone experienced this and had hp tuners or a software and correct it at the track and seen results...

This I agree with, depending on how bad maybe a hundreth or two but that's a bit much I'd think.

haha yeah try again if you can open the track up with -600 da again i would be glad too......and add $500 for 3.73 gear... not really worth it for the gain...would get more out of a ss4000 converter and sell my ss3600...everyone always thinks there is so much to gain in gears...
