No lift shift RPM drop

I need help setting up my no lift shift. I rev my car to 9500 RPM and I was wondering if anyone could give me an idea of a good RPM setting to keep my car in a good power ban but still be able to shift smoothly. I was thinking 2K drop to 7500rpm. Does that sound about right. Car makes 700whp also so it pulls hard from 5500 to 9500

Use the smallest amount of RPM drop that allows you to shift without hitting the limiter. I left mine set at the stock V7 setting of 800.

The stock 800 rpm is perfect. If you use a 2k drop your going to be waiting a long time to have a smooth shift and when you let the clutch back out you will loose speed because the engine will have to catch back up with the drive train before you start accelerating again. Best thing you can do is do a few pulls shifting normal and note how much rpm you drop between each gear and use that value. Now that I think about it it might end up being 2k. Other alternatives include shifting at a lower rpm or switch to a different clutch. What are you using the car for?

i have mine at 800rpm. I was thinking of making it shorter like 600rpm. You can always change it, id do what works for your car.

Thanks guys for all the help. I have been messing with the settings to see how she feels. I hope to tether dialed in before upcoming IFO.

I think the stock 800rpm or even the 1000 mentioned should be just fine. You should be shifting fast enough to not even hit the limit. It is there more as a buffer for a missed shift. At least thats how I think of it. GL out at the track.

I haven't really heard of anyone having lock out with a twin disk, interesting. You're pretty much just going to have to trial and error to see what works out the best.

i'd concentrate on the lockout. Don't try and band aide it with electronics, get that sorted and then, if you want to, use NLTS to complement an already mechanically functional setup.

just my 2cents, from a guy without NLTS

NLS was my lockout issue. I was trying to NLS and it was disabled because if speed thresh hold. It was set to 162mph for the point that it must exceed to enable NLS. So I moved it to 10mph and the car now shifts like butter at high RPM NLS.

So if I'm understanding correctly you didn't have all the parameters correct in the NLTS settings and when you tried to no lift shift you were just smacking the redline limiter instead of dropping the set rpm? aka power shifting
