The redline for a si is 6800, not 7500.

i shift at around 3k. do you guys use 5th gear on the streets or do you reserve it for the highway? i havent decided which is more efficient. i assume 5th on the streets would improve fuel economy though.

i put it in 5th on the strizeets, usually at like 45mph, figured that would mean your engine's not working as hard and you'd get better gas mileage, never actually tried it, kinda hard to get good gas mileage with my heavy foot

Re: (PetroGuyX)
i **** at about 2.5k for best fuel mileage...
i put it in 5th at 40 mph... or a little more... 42...
i dont think its too much stress on the engine...
of course i can never resist running it up to 8k every once in a while...mmmmmmmm... vtec...

fuel cutoff is even beyond 7600. 
is redlining and hitting the fuel cutoff the same thing??? </TD></TR></TABLE>
Redline on a 97+ lude is 7600 rpms. Fuel cutoff is somewhere a little over 8000 i believe. Redline is not the same thing as the fuel cutoff. Redline is where the redline starts on the tach which is 7600 rpms. The rev limiter and fuel cutoff is at the same rpm.
