Auto, GT, 50k. Mid 17s with exhaust, intake, underdrive pulley, s-afc. MID 17s. Good lord. Other people say they hit low 16s bone stock, what could be wrong with my car? Where do I start? I'm going to check the compression, plugs, and then wires. Oil is good, anyone else got suggestions?

Bliping the throttle for turns is normally called heel-toe-shifting. You use your toe to break (because you are going around a turn), then whilst still breaking, you blip the throttle with your heel, clutch, gear and go.
Every real driver I know says that double clutching is one of the most basic techniques you should know. Although I do have some rice friends who double clutch while up-shifting (sigh)
