its only worth it to shift out on a ZF truck. With an allison truck theres never enough of a torque reduction/negative torque on the drivetrain; the xfer case will never actually shift until you let off at the end of the 1/4 mile.

Yes Ben, I totally agree, I'm very impressed with this young man's ability with a stick shift. Building boost is not an easy matter either.

Thanks Tom for the 12.86 outside video!

The last run in the video is actually the first run of the night that Tom caugt on film shown in the above post.

The first two runs in the video turned out better so we dubbed them in first. The 12.788 run happened a week or so prior to this track day but I wanted it mentioned in the video so sorry for any confusion there.


Thank you all for the compliments:hug:
