Chris, I would highly recommend NOT doing this, for one, you don't need to,
to run quick ET's. I have never had to do that, never will. Just a very
quick lift N shift will do. Practice, Practice, Practice. I have over 100 1/4
mile passes, I have had many folks at the strip come over to me and ask do I
use the clutch because I shift so quick, I do, but it took alot of practice
to get good enough to run as consistent as I do. Hope this helps ya!
