I think I have the record of spending the most money to run a 10.30 @ 136mph.........

But hopefully the bigger cam helps.

I think he went high 6's and I wouldn't consider a Liberty and a M6 to be in the same class. Unless the M6 was maybe proshifted and had some wicked aftermarket internals.

IMO Taner is the man, shifting a M6 and using the clutch pedal every shift is very impresive.

you still have to use the clutch pedal in pro-shifted transmissions too.

true, if my car was race only i would pro shift in a heartbeat. i have driven Roman's car when he had borrowed Harlans proshifted trans and was way more fun to shift than the trans in my car right now! much much faster ***** and precise engagement, not to mention you really only had to blip the clutch pedal to be able to grab the next gear.
plus you have to hold it in 4th gear so it doesn't pop out.... wtf is that $hit. i wouldn't want to have to hold the shifter in gear. there is alot of things my car didn't come with when it rolled off the factory line, one of them is a trans that pops out of fourth when at WOT.

millen has gone 6's... pffft i ran 5.99 ........................ in the eighth

thanks Scott!

The Liberty Equilizer in Millens car is clutch less. He only uses the clutch to launch. And taner the proshifting is nice but the faceplating is way better, and lasts 100 to 150 passes, and is also very streetable. You could do 1-4 and leave 5th and 6th stock.
