I wait for a second or two into 3rd. There prooved to be way too much bog at the 2-3 shift to lock in anytime in second. For avoiding the pitfalls of the huge 2-3 rpm drop bogging things down, you'd need to be making a lot more HP than I was and spinning something close to 6000rpm at the shift point.
I was only running mid 11's so it severely hurt my times and mph locking before the 2-3 shift. Maybe if the TCC clutch isn't 100% efficient it would slip enough to allow this. Unfortunately I'm running a 7 disc. It is very unforgiving at a 100% efficiencey when locked.
