Shift Points (man i know you guys want to jump on me for searching, just read it...)
Wh3n sh0u1d 1 sh1ft to save mad ga5 y0?
just kidding.....
i always hear that its good to shift at your peak hp and a lot of you on here comment that you rev to around 7200 and then shift....im just wondering why, and now that i can adjust my rev limit, i was thinking of revving to about 7600 then shifting.....
the way i see it is that the amount of hp/tq that you make above the peak hp rpm is greater than the hp/tq that you will make where you land in the next gear if you shift at peak......i would think that a rev from 5500-7600 would produce more acceleration that a rev from 5200-7200...(those rpm #s are approx i dont rly know)
check the sig if im completely wrong.....dont kill me on this one!!

Re: Shift Points (mgags7)
trial and error. go run your car at the track and watch ur shift points and let us know.
how i save gas is, i shift before my turbo spools. so i shift at like 2800 rpm's.
