When the car stops pulling, you should have shifted. You want to shift just when you hit the apex of the power bandf. After a few practices, you'll get a good feel fo rwhen to shift.

for 99 shift at 5250 1st-2nd 5350-5400 2nd-3rd(help over the hump in 3rd) and 5250 3rd-4th any more you are wasting your time.

expect to run very horrible times.... and you should be able to do 2.1-2.2 60ft and every .1 off your 60ft is .2 off your quarter/8th mile times so... when you run that 17 sec see what the 60ft is and do a little math~ until you get some experience your times are gonna be rather bad probably.
