I was hesitant to power shift before I got my Short shifter. Now that I have it when I power shift the RPM doesn't jump much at all. With this being lthe case I would be willing to do this in a race situation. What could I expect to gain in terms of MPH and ET.

with 4.10's on radials you might not gain much of anything because the car usually will spin more, but on drag radials or slicks you can gain a tenth if you do it perfect, maybe more depending on how your regular shifting is....i gained almost a tenth(.09) by just powershifting 2nd in the 1/8 mile compared to normal speed shifting. :nice:
