This is a stupid question, but how do I hit third?  I thought that once I did the mods below I could get third in my manual with 3.55's.  TC off of course.  2nd squeals hard.  I don't know if I am over revving or winding it to much before the shift 2 to 3. 

Help me out.

Thanks.

Hmmm What are you shifting at?

Even with a full tank and a passenger I can usually chirp third with pretty much no effort...

I am able to hit it, but I cant chirp it either...

I got some delete plates, intake and a tune coming in this week, so that should do the trick.

I ran my car today, 13.8 quarter mile at 117mph...first time running a 1/4 mile and all i've done is an axleback and the UDP...

I was trying to chirp third for a while and just couldnt do it...but i havent missed it yet.

Trying giving it a little bit of gas while you are shifting, so pop the revs up between shifts and it should chirp the rubber out a bit..

Smoking 'em in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd loses races(not to mention quickly wearing out the tires), while not smoking 'em wins races.

13.8 at 117 . . . thats wrong. . .

anyways. . . soon as i got my 4.10's . . . chirp third without trying . . .

with the stock 3.55 . . . just every now and then. . . you have to think. . . our 2cd to 3rd is at about 70 mph w/ 3.55 . . .

no need to bark them for me . . . that just means your losing traction and that makes you slower

haha those things hook like a ****


don't try to chirp third............if u do, great, but if u don't don't wear your clutch/tranny out trying.  a good shift is a smooth shift.

how far can you rev through the rpm's before you have to shift in a manual??? does it depend on what mods you have on the car?

I've never heard 3rd chirp, maybe it's my suspension.  I'm getting 4.10's installed in T-minus 5 days 12 hours and counting.  I'm thinking after the gear swap I might need some better tires.  I hope I don't end up in a ditch shifting to third with 4.10's and the stock pirellis.

It depends where your rev limiter is set.  Most tuners set it at 6800rpms I think.  Stock is something like 6250.
