Thanks for the feedback all - I will try the throttle blip and see how that goes.

As most of the track is second gear work with my setup (<100 MPH) with only the two main straights where I reach around 130 MPH calling for third gear, leaving it in drive doesn't work as it tends to seek third a bit on the slower parts of the track.

The other reason I manually change down is that the original unvented brakes would tend to overheat after 7 or so laps sothought a bit of compression braking might help - have now fitted large vented discs with Willwoods and combined with a new aluminium hub have saved 5 lbs per side (those jag bits are very heavy) so maybe my overheating problems are over. Haven't tried the new setup yet as am busy converting to fuel injection with a homemade system with a crossram manifold.

Should be up and running in about 2 months time.
