Default Re: When do you activate your Throttle Stop?

Many have suggested activating at .3. Do you think this will give me consistent 60 foot times to work from?

How do you manage this?

Thanks all.
Well, I'm running a car that's in another class altogether, but I think activating the stop at the moment you're shifting is a recipe for a mess. I think what you're doing sounds just fine (IMHO).

For what it's worth, we go on the stop immediately (literally .000), shift at 1.0, and are on the stop ~1.9. Been quite predictable.
