Message	stopwatch in steering wheel hand.. I Launch in second for two reasons. With 4.08 gears, 1st is good for only a little over 30mph at redline so I waste precious time shifting. Bu launching in 2nd I dont have to shift until after I hit 60mph and it also maximizes the gearing/turbo boost curve for best times on street tires. Once I get some drag radials and hit the 1/4 track I will have to experiment around to see what gives best e.t's but probably will do best still w/second gear launches just will be able to launch at higher rpms. 1990 Twin Turbo 5spd Stillen Stage XI+ "No Show,All GO" 1999 Maxima SE 5spd ECZA member #0314 ..."If it doesnt make it faster, I dont care"...yellowZXTT
