No its an automatic. Ya that was my first time out to the track and it was my best of the night. It went like this:
5:30PM - 92* outside with heavy humidity. Just drove 20 miles to track, but decided to run because nobody else was running. I ran a 14.3 (2.2 60') and the engine was HOT. Hit the rev limiter in 1st. Flashed the torque converter and had O/D on.
6:00PM - Let the car cool down, but the track heated up in the meantime to 93*. I ran a 14.1 with a 2.2 60' engine was still a little hot, but not bad. Lost traction for a moment when I hit 2nd gear. Flashed the torque converter and had O/D on.
6:50 - Track has cooled to about 87* but I get the great idea to run the car with Overdrive off. I had NO traction at all from 1st through 3rd and then it bogged down. Ran I 15.8. Which of course ticked me off.
7:00 - Decided to run again even with the hot engine. Overdrive is on. I line up next to a SRT-4 (Fox 26 News filmed us racing and we showed up on the news later that night lol). Even with the hot engine I ran a 14.0 and beat the Dodge Neon who ran a 14.3.
I decide to let the engine cool off for awhile.
8:10 - I change up the shift points to try and get rid of the 1st gear Rev Limiter Bouncing. Changed shift pressure as well. Its about 83* now and really humid. I hit the rev limiter in 1st and then in 2nd and decide to coast it out before I make it to the 1000' mark. I roll out a 15.8 again @ 57mph LOL.
I ran a couple more times but it took me till 11:30 that night to get the settings on the tune right and finally regain traction, but didn't get to run again with the good tune. I did manage a 99mph trap on one of the runs after 8:10.
