Do you really want to powershift?

For what it is worth, I raced at Great Lakes Dragaway again on August 16. My timing is turned downn to 10 degrees. I just added the Home Depot ram air and got rid of the front sway bar. I thought I would be in the 14's but timing is everything, I guess. My best for my 'vert is a 15.1.

Honestly, If you don't know of anyone to help you swap your clutch out when it goes bad then sc**W it! You need a heavy duty clutch cable to confidently powershift like that. My Centerforce and FMS kit holds up strong all the time. It seems as though the car runs better at high rpm's too.

Get a good clutch and quadrant kit!
