pewter- 99 trans am
ive had this argument many times before.....my car went faster down the track when i manually shifted....ive proven it time and time again...its not the same for every car though...it just depends on how your trans is actin....at wot, the car would hold the gears too long, and this was on a stock tune..

Just a quick question, does GM have the Camaro shift at different points than the Firebird? My A4 shifts from 1st to 2nd at 5500 and from 2nd to drive at 5400. I tried to manually shift it and it was slower. However, I did let it shift on its own from 1st to 2nd and then put the shifter in 2nd and held it out till about 5700 and it shifted right before 6k and it got me about .05 of a second off my ET. When I tried to manually shift from 1st to 2nd it sort of took a split second longer to shift, like it was holding its self back. I see that they say max RPM is 5500.....but yeah I figured the rev limiter was 6200 or 6250 for the LS1s.
13.545 on its own vs 13.514 for manual 2nd to drive. Need a shift points stiffened upa nd raised......lol

Ignition Orange/Black- 2008 G8 GT, 98 Z28 383
It's kind of a crap shoot when it comes to the rear end. Mine is a H/C stick car with 140K miles on it, all I did was put the girdle on from summit @110K and had no problems so far, although I have the $$ put aside for a beefed up one when this one blows out. I know some people have blown them out on stock cars though.
OP if you put slicks on and go to the track a lot I would have the $$ saved up for a new rear end just in case.
