Re: 1/4mile Times (Sc00tsGTI)
You are shifting way too soon! See my sig. I ran my time by shifting at 6000. If you have a dyno or a dyno of a car with the same mods as yours plug them into here:

For the dyno I got (from a 97 2.0 which may make its power slightly higher than mine) my shift points were like 6400, 6000, and 5400. I think in the real world it I might try 6200, 6000, and then stay in 3rd but I will try what the program says at least once to see if it works.
Oh, and what kind of 60ft times are you getting. If I dropped my clutch at 4,000 it would get some nasty wheel spin and some nasty axle hop. I found about 2,600 to work fairly well but I don't know what the best rpm is yet.... or at least I think I can do better than a 2.4
