Going to track tonight...
Finally I'm going to Firebird Raceway in Chandler, AZ for a few runs tonight. I can't wait! Sucks I'm not getting my AEM CAI until next week but it'll be good to get a comparision with the setup I have now and then after I put the CAI on. I'm 
for mid to high 14's. I'll post the results tomorrow. If anyone's going out there tonight from this site give me a shout. Maybe we can meet up and chat at the track. Also if anyone has some suggestions for me, i.e. launching techniques, SShift or just leave it in auto, etc let me know. Thanks!

Great thing about Arizona is the racing season is all year round. Sucks they were timing cars for an episode of PINKS at the track tonight so I wasn't able to run. Oh well. Maybe another time. At least I got into a street race and won though! :grin:

learn to use gateshifting at the track, it'll consistently beat auto or sport shifting

It's in the street encounter section. I met up with an 03 WRX and smacked him around a little.

Actually I just read on an info thread that the SS mode makes the tranny shift a lot quicker into each gear rather than just leaving it in auto mode. I'm guessing gate shifting is just throwing into 1st gear all the way at the bottom of the shift gate vs putting it in the SS mode and starting from 1st there?

No - Tranny failure from using SShift? Don't think so. Some people even have use the SShift when the tranny goes south because it's a manual process vs auto.
No - I've read multiple times not to torque brake the car, that's going to case tranny failure much quicker than SShifting it.
No - Take out my rear seats???
