...whoa, whoa, whoa!!!...my 5-speed has 1st gear boost. My boost gauge is at 5 lbs. at 2000 rpm and at 12-13 lbs. at redline. I race several of my vehicles and usually don't let off the gas when shifting. On the PT turbo I do, the rpm's only drop slightly with the close ratios and the boost only drops back to around 7-8 lbs. between gears...and goes right back to 12-13 lbs. before each shift. Once you get 3rd gear it's spooled and stays up all the way to 5th gear which is at about 110mph...mine cuts off at 128mph. My dealer is kinda different..he drives a Viper, we were curious and he brought an auto-stick turbo off the lot and we lined 'em up and give 'em a go for nearly 1/2 mile. He ran the first time with it shifting itself...they were even for about 10 feet and the 5-speed steadily pulled away till we let off, the 5-speed was about 150 feet ahead. The second run he shifted with the autostick, same results but he lost an additional 50 more feet than when he let it shift itself. Never let the seat of your pants fool you...find one and give it a try...they want to know what they got as much as you do.
