Drag racing question
For those of you who trap around 114 mph in the 1/4 mile, do you have to shift to 4th or can you stay in third? Anyone know what mph 3rd gear at redline is? I never seem to know exactly where the track ends and have to shift to 4th right near the end but I'm wondering if this hurts my ET and whether I can stay in 3rd.

Need 4th. The gap from 3rd to 4th is higher on an M12. IMO you realy need to be just bellow the rev limiter on your 3rd to 4th shift. If I do not hit it right at red line, I drop 1 MPH on the trap. Good luck!

Funny you bring this up, I am IMing with my brother and we just talked about this. He says he shifts at redline in third at 100mph. Unless you would change gearing you would have to shift in the qtr mile.
