I have done some practicing with NLS and have been both successful and unsuccessful many times. I've noticed it doesnt usually work if you initiate the shift over about 6000 rpm, it seems to hit a hard limiter and kill the power for a sec even if you get it into gear successfully. It also seems harder to get it into gear quickly at higher rpms so I've missed a lot of shifts and hit 6900+ rpm in neutral a few times so far with no noticeable negative effects. I think my limiter is around 6500 rpm.
For 1-2 gear its pointless since you will just spin the tires in first and to redline in 2nd basically instantly depending on surface and tires, at the track probably initiate the shift right at 5800 at latest could work with slicks.
for 2-3 its great but, hard to nail it. I've missed this one like 50% or more of my attempts. Jabbing the clutch and initiating the shift right when the tach starts flashing around 5800 rpm works best. I have ended up in neutral at 6800 rpm a lot of times because I missed this shift, but when you nail a 2-3-4 its amazing.
3-4 @5800 rpm easy to nail it just pull straight back while jabbing the clutch and shift fast as fuk no power or boost loss, sounds awesome and works great. I think boost increases during the shift actually.
4-5-6 usually past 1/4 mile if you are quarter mile racing, or at ~130+ mph. I havent tried NLS 4-5-6 since you have to be at 130+. I can hit 135+ in 4th if i just wring it out. Its possible to NLS 4-5-6 as far as I know but I think i would just end the race before that or shift normally into those gears personally.
Anyone else have any tips? I think I need more practice, maybe take a bit more time with the 2-3 but still not lift off the gas. Im not sure but its worked great a few times but also failed a lot of times. I think i just rushed it and focused on my left leg jabbing the clutch fast more than the actual shift.
