Dumb question: How the heck do you manually shift the 6 speed auto in a drag race?

No kidding? It's that easy? I'm going to enjoy this I think. Before it's first trip, I'm going to at least buy one of those cai kits with the tuner, so I can give a strip tune.

Lebanon Valley is in with that Summit ET series, they have a test and tune April 15th and the first Summit race on the 22nd.

Thanks friend.

Here you go. This is an interactive gear calculator for our cars. Looks like with the auto and your stock 3.15 gears you will only be in third through the traps.

I've been trapping around 115 give or take (2,500ish DAs typically) so I'm going to 4.10s in my car (stick, 27 inch tire, and 7800 redline).
