Thanks, thats what I expected. I have only raced a 5-speed once, and because it was my dads, and he was in my car next to me, I didn't do so hot. I bogged off the line, had a nice 1-2 shift, a good 2-3 shift, although the tires did spin some, and I went for 4th and it didn't engage fully, so I put it in neutral, and ran a 15.1 at 68!!! I think other than the 4th gear I shifted pretty hard, and clean.

I will be getting some Quick Time Pros on 15x8 or 9 Welds, so the launch will not be too hard to do. I also plan on a Tach w/ lite, a Pro 5.0 shifter, and to rebuild the posi in the rear.. I figure by the time it is installed, and ready to run, it will be next season and I will have had some practice with shifting. Normal driving is a peice of cake with the stick it's just the quick shifting I will be working on!!!

And lanching my AOD is flooring it and hearing a slight slip of the tires. It's too easy, it was more fun when it spun the tires!!!
