Should I lift to shift???

[airbrat]

I'm going out to the track tonight and run mid to high 14's w/ my current mods. I'm still stuck w/ my T25 and its my goal to hit high 13's before my next turbo upgrade, I dunno just something I want to prove to myself.

Anyhoo, I'm curious will speed shifting (never lifting) make an impact on how well I drive at the track tonight? I think I shift well but I have yet to speed shift in my car. Anyone else shift this way w/ their tiny turbos? Am I just better off the way I'm shifting now?

A guy around here does that. His car is pretty fast because of that. BUT he's gone through 6 transmissions in a year (or some other ungodly amount?) So it's up to you.

speed shifting in a GST would only cause your wheels to spin and that wouldnt help your ET at all, not to mention the fact that you can kiss your clutch and tranny good bye.
