theres no doubt clutchless helps the car go down faster thats fore sure...
but.... i ran 8.4 at 161mph with a 150HP shot of gas!! i think the nitrus assistance is a tad more of a helping hand than pulling 5 gears instead of 2... as for the others, a glide to a clutchless in my opinion is 2 tenths... so lets say for a second the car went 8.50's first time out with a glide... pretty sure its almost the same thing.. in my opinion you do everything you have to, to go fast and thats exactly what ill be doing, anyone who knows me knows that ive been pestering maatouk to gas my engine but he has no intentions of doing it till he hits a wall with making power.. at the moment he makes more power than he has ever done almost everytime his R&D car goes on the dyno....
and this is out of a street car!!! wait till the chassis car gets sorted!!
in the mean time ill just keep pulling gears!! everyone said once you go manual you wont drive an auto again... i think they were right
