I loved my auto v6 firebird for this reason. When I have my 9.5 wheels with good tires it wouldn't spin but just a little bit when I stomped it to the floor. Good times
I have a M6 now and I don't "floor it" until the RPMs are at least 3k or i'll spin like crazy.

^^^^^68 mph at 2K is 323s. i agree with the wheelspin causing an early shift then you bogging in second bc the rpms are too low, its a dead spot. definitely roll into the throttle, if you light them up immediately then you have no choice to spin all the way through first or let off. i dont get the gas to the floor until at least 20 to 25mph and then im crossing my fingers.

Yeah DR's will definately hold up to WOT even on a decently modded car. Get a good set of tires and your problems will dissapear. I went from 4.5 to 3.7 0-60 with a set of MT ET streets...sticky tires are without a doubt the best mod you can make.

X2 a set of BFG drag radials or the Mickey Thompson drag radials will hold up to a WOT with ease on your car. Mine hooks up with them even with the bald *** bfgs they still stick

I've gotten both of my from wheels of the ground at the track with 255/50/16 MT DRs. 1.63x 60's M6 with 423RWHP. Probably could have launched it higher but that was my last run last time at the track. Those tires are amazing.

Explain how he's going to outshift the PCM. It's an electronic transmission. It doesn't shift instantly, even when you shift manually. Shifting manually will yield 2 things: you will either shift too early or you will hit the rev limiter. The only way to shift perfectly is to leave it in Drive.
