Re: E shift ?
Oh Eddie 4 speed. I ran my mid 13 sec. gremlin in stock for 11 years. I bet if I had put you in the car you couldn't have gotten the 1 to 2 shift right for quite a long time, maybe never. Just the facts.

I think the difference here is how the automated shift is done in some stockers vs Superstocker SS? I am waiting for someone to say they need a delay box for safety reasons next...

Re: E shift ?
I originally manually shifted mine, often while still in the air. Never was a problem.

Re: E shift ?
James, thanks for sharing with me the other day. I was informed that NO FACTORY STOCK cars, COPO, Drag pack or Cobra jet can run any type of computer driven shifter (electric, air or internal solenoid). All shifting in all these cars must be done by the driver, by hand. They were NOT delivered from the factory with computer shifted transmissions and there for not allowed for any reason what so ever to use one. So unless a FS car is being shifted by hand, its not legal.

Re: E shift ?
1992 would have been a 700R4 so as it is not shifted by the computer, it should not qualify for E-shift. I guess you could argue the lockup was controlled by the computer but that's stretching it.
NHRA really needs to clarify this issue but my vote would be if it's an electronic transmission that was original equipment to that model and it was originally shifted by the computer, e-shift. Otherwise, you have a choice between shifting it yourself or playing with the governor and leaving it in drive. Jim Mantle V/SA 6632 |

Re: E shift ?
I don't race stock but I do race a super stock car. I don't know why NHRA would allow any stocker to run an auto shift if they don't allow all of the classes to run one. I say either all or none in stock. One should not have an advantage over the other in my book.
