Powershifting.......
Guys,
I was wondering how many of you out there powershift your ZF's and if so, which shifts?
How does the ZF hold up to powershifting?
Those of you that have done it at the dragstrip,...what shift(s) did you powershift and how much decrease in ET did you get?
I haven't powershifted it at the track,.....yet,...but tried a 3-4 powershift the other day on the street. You should have seen the look on that ladies face in the Saturn when the Vette kicked sideways @ 70mph on the interstate onramp.... :lol:

At the track, every shift I power shift! Always have. Had a bad experience
once on 2-3 and hit 1st :eek: :eek: :eek:
I'm sure its harder on the tranny of course.

74k on the tranny and 44k on the centerforce clutch.
probably close to 150 runs on a strip. Never on slicks yet though, that may
change things!

My car currently has 105,000 miles on it. The clutch is about 25,000 miles now. I have over 350 passes on it.

Not letting up on the gas as you clutch and shift the trans.
