You and me both! You are just hitting 3rd at the end of the 1/8 and I am still pulling hard in 3rd. 1/4 mile runs will be great.

I typically shift 3-4 around the 900ft mark.

Not sure where that is, I just shift from 3-4 between 85-90mph. Cant even get to that point in the 1/8 though.

I stay in 3rd for the whole 1/4mi, just kissing the rev limiter at the end. I ride the gears out.

1/8 mile = 660ft
1/4 mile = 1320ft

I hit 4th closer to 95mph at around 7300rpm which is somewhere between the 1/8 mile and 1000ft mark. So I figure it's around 900ft.

Wow that's good for a 2.0l Duratec, what did you run? And what's you set up, I forgot what the 07 has I think you have the Duratec too right?
