This is what I have been doing exactly and it works perfectly! Im consistantly running 13.4's in my AT Z. I hold the break down with my left foot and rev just to about 1.5k RPMs and punch it at the same time you let off the break. Your launches will be great! I get no wheelspin most of the time and even managed a faster 60ft time than an 09 GTR this past friday night. When I say consistantly I really do mean consistantly! 8 Runs today, 7 of them were 13.4's and I had one 13.5 flat that was due to a shift just a tad late.

I've also found the best time to shift is right as your needle is hitting 7k RPMs, don't wait for it to hit 7.5 in the AT. If you have quick reflexes and shift as your needle hits 7k your clutch will engage right at about 7.2k RPMs and you'll get a pefect response from the next gear! I got a lot of crap from my buddies for going with an AT at first until they saw me put up 5 13.4 quarters back to back. That shut them up real fast!
