Kellers Tonight
May I ask why you dont shift the car manually? Your boy RBG was stating how it was having troubles later in the evening as well shifting on it's own, why dont you shift it yourself? You are aware that when u click the shifter the car will shift at any speed and any throttle pressure, it won't stay in gear like some transmissions and shift when it wants to... you may be able to pick up a little ET and speed doing shifting it yourself as well.

possibly, but its already been discussed that the trans shifts all fucked up, takes 1/2 second to downshift etc... I have driven a similar car, and its about .2-.3 quicker in the 1/4 consistently because it lags a little on the shift if you let it shift vs it slamming in gear (sorta like a shift kit). The car shifts harder and faster with manually shifting it.

Wouldnt hurt it to try. Might take some getting used to, but at least it'd help on his starts without waiting for a kick down.

not being an *** but you weren't there so you don't know what it was doing before or after. From what alex said is when he hit it and the nitrous activated it went december 25th on the dashboard and the sumbitch hung at 5600 until he got back out of it. when we pulled up as he pulled over it sounded like it was missing. then he shut it down and cranked it back up and revved and it sputtered. when we left the side of the highway it sounded like it was missing hard core and sure enough got back to the house and pulled the plugs..."uh-oh, where is my electrodes? My motorz eated it."

Hope it gets it figured out, maybe I can run him some day when my car is less slow.

So any takers the silver car will be in the 9's when it goes back? That black cobra ran a string of high 11's the night we were there, he had his chance but declined. 18 inch drag radials work just fine.

there you go again with your jokes....if 11.2's is high 11's then 9's must be high 10's right? what were you running when he ran you? the car has a solid axle and some other new goodies. and just like you were running 12's that night and will be running "9's" the cobra won't be runing "high 11's". I would be led to believe you drag raced short buses in a previous life.
