    You can't shift faster than a computer, nor get the exact same shift points each time either.

    Only thing Tap Shift is good for is holding a gear when: roll racing or tracking the car.

    Tap shift does exactly that holds the gear as long ad I need it to do. It all depends on your cars setup. It has nothing to do with shift times its about keeping the power band and shift point where I want them instead of programmed logic doing the job. And if your car is tuned tap shift is a better solution then drive.

    You get some black and white hard evidence on paper...such as...quicker times at the drag strip.

    I already admitted to it being worthwhile if you autocross the car...I'm just willing to bet you can't go really any faster in the quarter with it, that's all.

    Mine did not run any better with tapshift at the 1/8th mile, and mine is tuned. I think its only beneficial in a roll race/autocross and if you know what your doing, from a dig i think its pointless to make a difference

    That's what I do, use it for holding a gear, then back into D.
