Heel and toe shifting in an SPF.

[cdog]

To the OP:

You are doing it right.

Left side of shoe on brake, angle foot so you can blip the throttle with right side of shoe. That's what I do.

Question to those that DON'T use heel-toe downshifts: How do you handle accelerating out of a corner since you can downshift while braking? Seems like if you just downshifted and lifted off the clutch, your revs would be all mismatched.

I yanked all that that crap out, properly mounted a tilton dual master cylinder with bias bar and pedals...unfortunately, i learned that the spf brakes, pedals, steering and front geometry must be completely redesigned unless you are just wanting to live with a show car only level of performance on 60's technology tires.

Dude, mine is fine. Car handles good, pedals are fine, stops well. I have Avon tires and I'm betting the car will pull about 1g laterally.

Bob, I am just guessing at the 1g, but the car feels as planted as my Viper and I think that was a 1g car. I have the Avons and they are sticky, and probably short-lived...

I run a low idle, and would need to set it to 1,500 rpm for the track as well. Also, I think i'd need to raise my float levels, as the car will almost die during extremely heavy braking. I think that's a low float issue...

Like they say, a picture (in this case, video) is worth a thousand words. Great video. Thanks for posting.
