We started in first gear and by the end of second, I was already 3/4 car length ahead of him, but when we both hit 3rd gear, he started to gain on me pretty quickly. We already hit 90 so I stopped. I'm pretty sure if we went up to 4th gear, we woulda been pretty even.
I noticed that 9 out of every 10 manual cars I race, every time they shift, I gain at least 1/4 car length. So if we start in first, by third I have at least 3/4 car length on him, if not more.
FYI, Technosquare's reflash is awesome. The basic reflash opens up your throttle to a full 100% (factory is 80% at WOT) AND my redline is at 7100 rpms. I just shift at 7k rpms because there is a 100 rpm lag on the manumatic.

so your saying pretty much its even out the race with your 5at w/ a 5/16 MD spacer over his 6mt 350z?

But yes, its still completely a drivers race. The whole key to the winner is within its launch. And in the 6MT's case, shifting properly.
The only difference between the 6MT and Auto is within its gearing, although it isnt anything too significant.

Glad to see your loving the TS reflash. Honestly, my mind has changed over to the new UpRev Osiris flash which seems to damn good! TS is definately a well proven flash though.
You should go to the track anytime soon as see what the reflash has done to your car performance wise.
