Default Questions

I have 95 Trans Am and I was wondering if having my shift points at 6200 would make a worthy increase over 5800. Also, I'm gonna be heading to IRP(track) tonight and I'm not sure if I need to wear a helmet during runs or not.... If someone could help me with these questions, that'd be great!

ps: What should I expect to run? I'm thinkin high 13's

You only have to wear a helmet if your under i think it is 13.99 or 13.7 somthing like that. You should be right around that range when you run. It all depends on how good you drive and how the track conditions are. I would bring one cause ill guess youll be around 13.7 in the quarter.
I think if you turn up your rps like you said you should notice a differance. But the question i would ask is how many miles on the motor and can she take it...if she can then do it...good luck

automatic, but it shifts amazingly fast. Not sure if this is common, and I can't remember if it was like this before the HPP3 modification, but when I shift my car jumps forward I raced my friend in his modded 94 mustang and when he'd shift, he'd fall back. When I'd shift, I'd jump a 1/2 car on him

Well you can see what I ran with the mods in sig and a 2000 ft density altitude. I say anywhere from 13.7-14.0 depending on weather.
