shifting manually is very hard on the trans..these trans were not made for that. You'll have more rpms with OD off plus the OD bands are weak and don't hold up to WOT

Leave it in "D". The trans will shift faster and better. Do you have a tune? I'd also do the J-Mod.

Could somebody like a thread to the benefits to this J-Mod. Interested. Thanks, appreciate it.
Sorry to get off topic
I have Lidio tune, trans has 125K on it right now, I'm just waiting for it to let go so I can get a modded one and stall converter.

When you put it in neutral rev it up and then put in gear yeah it will shift harder and probably bark the tires.
If you want a lower time leave it in "D".

If I waited for it to shift automatically I'd be waiting a looonnnggg time!
With that said.. When I was auto I learned the quick way that these ECM's are not as fast to respond as I was to shift, couple that with an older trans and well.. I saw 6,800 twice shifting at 6,200 and my trans was in good shape.

Well my best was a 14.86 followed by about 3 15.02's and a 15.18 just seems like it should be quicker with the mods I have (4.10, JLT, MSD street fire coils and Lidio Tune). Wondering if I should try a Marty'O tune? My best ever with that combo was 14.68. Tried both 91 and 93 octane tunes and didn't make a difference.

Oh and I could only load converter to 2500 anything over that tires would spin stationary, track prep wasn't very good last night.

Looks like you are spinning and would have a faster time by reducing your launch RPMs.

Your saying on your 14.73 ET you had a 2.242 60 foot, on my 14.85 ET I had 2.2561 60 Foot, I would say that is pretty comparable especially when you look at the MPH 93.91 vs 94.22. Either way no tire spin, she had good grip off the line.
