I put it in D3, and let the tranny shift on it's own. I've gotten better ETs and trap speeds this way.

d3 till 105mph????

since i have teh apexi vafc, i have my vtec engaged a little quicker at 4000 rpm so i start off in d3 up till the vtec kicks in 3rd gear and when it kicks in in 3rd i move to d4 and floor it and it ingages at 4th too. its a lot of fun. i recommend starting in d3 and then redline it till 3rd then move to d4, give you better power in teh 3.0 in the top rpm ranges

Floor the damn thing and watch time fly by - you will be going nowhere fast!

If a guy on a bicycle passes you while running the 1/4, don't fret, it's just time for a tune up!
