i'm real sloppy on my 4-5 shift, the shift was clean but slow enough to drop me out of boost range, and i lose 2+ cars on stang and the maxima passes me................i reel in the maxima and prolly gain a car or so on the stang but that is all that i can do............i let off, the maxima blasts by while me and the stang coast down to a reasonable speed........
That's the problem when relying on a turbo\blower for any decent amount of power....

If you time it right and are in the right gear... you can get some boost. but if your not in the power band, you're gonna get walked....

Sometimes its just a matter of cubic inches... I know, I've been on the short end of the stick once or twice myself...
