Be sure also to check out those Wallace Racing calculators since you are having fun in 1/4s and straight lines. A lot of interesting stuff in there for that: weight, incremental hp, various time intervals and etc.

Will do. Thanks Doug!

I did run expert and you can see traction control involvement at lower RPM.

Watch the traction light come on about 5-6k and at 7k shift point.

Do I keep it in auto mode, keep it floored and trust the car will shift or manual and I do the shifting?
