Personally, I went to PBIR just to test the car before a tune. I shifted normally, as in not WOT shifting, and babied it out of the hole. I just wanted to get comfortable with the car. Hitting 2nd hard sent me a bit sideways on one run. I am sure if I powershifted and tried as hard as I could, I could have gotten into the 12's, no problem. I decided I was not going back to the track until I got a tune and an oil cooler (the car was not consistent enough for me).
