flat changing is slow in my car . usually change around 5200-5500 and if you flat change the revs will go up higher therefor hitting limiter. which isnt gonna get the car anywhere. just what i found anyway. 15.993 flat changing . 15.815 just quick changing. big difference. also think its because my timing isnt advance so when i flat change it bogs down into the next gear slightly

from 5500 even you shouldnt hit the limited, unless your changing reeeal slow. i was shifting at about 5100 5200 and not getting near 6000.Maybe try changing faster.. I didnt find it bogged at all and my timings not advanced either. Any ways 15.8s a *** great time! Good work

Shift manually and stall it to around 2000 Also dont do a big burnout before your run, just a little one to get the tyres a bit warm

i took my car to the drags on wednesday first time ive raced there the best i got was a 16.025secs at 86.04mph-138.46kmh that was stallin it of the line (auto) and manually shiftin the first 2 passes it spun of the line then i let the tyres down more and it didnt lose traction at all,im so annoyed that i didnt get a 15 but i reckon i will next time, the cars not stock ive got genie extractors,2.5 inch exhaust,hi flow cat,cai,k"n air filter,advanced timing,and i ran it on premium unleaded with 15 inch pursuit rims i reckon its good for a 15 so hopefully i can get 1 next time.

16 is good for an Auto. You would probably reach mid 15's with a 5 speed and a minispooled diff.
