Are you stereotyping truck drivers? If so that is very politically incorrect and has hurt my feelings. I need to be compensated for the pain and suffering your callous, indifferent view of the trucking industry has inflicted on me. Just for the record, I am NOT a truck driver. I am an automotive relocation engineer....

Jeez Kevin, you run a 5.2 and sound disappointed. WTF? Only on this forum will a member run a time like that and look for improvement somewhere. Is there a psychiatrist in the house?

Ben , I cant speak to your setup and the best way to produce times but I will say I was very surprised how mine made the 5.2 I did ten runs, 8 1 shifts and a single no shift and a single 2 shift. All the 1 shift runs were all within 5.2 -5.5. I had thought that running up to redline would be the best time but it was shortshifting that brought the best time. I shifted well under 7K and it brought me in the meat of the tq band in 4th. I think that helped for a few .10ths..... Also, my Topgun bobblehead on the dash was mocking me, that helped for a few 10ths as well. You know, I have never seen a Bobblehead with ..well, such a big head...
I'll give the 1 shift a shot shifting around 6600-6800? I really hate to make excuses but I'm going to be at an automatic disadvantage as I don't have a TopGun bobblehead.
