[QUOTE="ridethepony, post: 455867, member: 10351"] Hey guys. I have a stock 97 GT that I drag every so often, and in order to get the best pull, I need to know its optimal shift point. I usually just wait until redline to shift, but I read somewhere that the best point to shift for RWD cars is a little bit after redline. I'm kind of afraid to try, after all the clutch is more than 10 years old, and I don't know if it could handle being shoved into a flywheel going in excess of 5K rmp's. Also with the age of the clutch in mind, what would be the best way to launch? Every time I race its been from a roll, but from a dead stop, what should I do? Neutral drop = bad for an old clutch, I know, so what's best? Thank you!!! [/QUOTE]
