Default When RPM do you shift @ when racing...

What RMP holds the maximun hp? When racing, what RPM do you shift at and at what RPM do you start to lose power. I have the basic I/H/E setup. Thanks!

no no, 12k is only used when you need to get the maximum downforce from your aluminum APC double decker wing. otherwise, 11k should be fine for your application.

Why did i lose points? Will a mod IM me.

when the engine sounds like it needs to be shifted, or you hit the limiter.

yall are going to make hem blow his engine

LOL... Don't worry. 9000 on the tach is really only something like 8700.
this is why its okay to shift after the redline but just before fuel cutoff.

Rguy, who wonders why he lost points...really....

Well, when *racing* I use reverse so the car is RWD, so I can't really shift since there's only one reverse gear.

Factory fuel cut is 8600.

Shift at redline for drag racing. For autoxing I shift to 2nd as soon as I can, usually right about 6 grand.
