im just sayin if the fronts are still doin there slip grab slip grab stuff that 1st gear often does when you launch a lil too hard, im gonna shift when its about to redline. im pretty sure this isnt gonna kill it.

U have to look at your speed not rpms. Even though the rpms are maxxed if you're spinning you're most likely not really at the top of the gear

isnt it bad to hold it at redline even if you not at what would be the max speed for that gear? ...i would think u would still wanna shift even if your not up to that speed.

Well I've noticed a few times after being in first gear and flooring it and spinning my tires a little bit when i try to shift into second gear the car stays in first and doesnt hit second until i let off the gas aor let the rpms drop. This happened mainly at the drag strip, I'm thinking its more because of my bad launching than anything serious. anyone having this problem? Because it makes me look like a fool at the drag strip.

the point is you don't want to be spinning, and if you're not spinning you won't have that issue.
