(As opposed to letting the computer downshift for you)
Reason being when you go wot in 3rd or 4th your rpms jump way up then your 3-4 clutch pack releases while they are being kind sling shoted and due to the 3-4 clutch pack not being applied any longer the clutches are now spinning at different speeds at high rpms causing excessive wear.

Bringing this back up. Well today RollinSScamaro and I weighed our cars. Mine is 3640 lbs with full tank of gas, full nitrous, probably 30-40 lbs of tools and whatnot. His was 3520 lbs with his drag wheels and full tank of gas. No nitrous obviously and no tools and whatnot either. We did a 50-120 run (with him manually shifting down to 2nd this time) and it was pretty dead even again. So today there was about a total of 200 lb difference when you include the drivers. Last time we ran he was running his big 18's, so it was interesting to see if there was a difference

125mph with 4.10s is max for your 4th gear? What RPM does that put you at in 4th? Just wondering if you cant spin it higher due to your cam.
I have 4.10s also but take my 4th gear to 6900 which puts me well into the 130mph range.

Yes I think its time to cut some weight out of this pig lol. I'm not sure if mine is fully optioned or not. How do you tell? It has t-tops, leather, ABS, traction control, etc. My 17x11 ZR1's with tire are 60 lbs, but my fronts are stock 17x9 which I believe are close to 50 lbs with tire. Then there's the iron block, which is about 100 lbs more. My nitrous kit with full bottle is an extra 30 lbs. Then lastly, I have probably around an extra 20 lbs of tools, cleaning supplies, etc....We both had a full tank of gas as well. So basically I weighed my car in its heaviest case scenario lol
