Say, my car rev limit is 7,500rpm and just curious what is the ideal rpm to shift on each gears?

1st Gear =
2nd =
3rd =
4th =
5th =

I usually pull my 2nd gear up to 7,000rpm and 3rd 7,200rpm, 4th & 5th 6,500rpm which sometimes i just felt the car doesn't go anymore...
Am i over revving it???

Thanks

 

it really just depends on your mods and power band.

 

If you have a dyno sheet, post one up.

 

Guys you can find my chart here...^^

Your best bet is to shift as your power starts falling off. Basically you want to end up at a good spot in your powerband in the next gear. The spot will be different for every car, do my suggestion is to look at your dyno sheet and get a good idea where you want to be and then try it out at the track until you find the best rpm for your car. The 'sweet spot' will even be different on each gear.

My buddy had a stroker kit in an STI, and all of his mods were planned out to make it a torque monster. He ran his best times short shifting out of first and second gear at like 5000 rpm and the rest of the gears around 6000 rpm.

 

Thanks Guys...

 

make a few 0-400 runs and try different shifting each time

 

Thanks Man...

 

^ This.

 

like everyone says look at your dyno plot and see where your power drops off and get to know how many RPM drop from each gear to gear and plan your shifts to end you in the meat of ur powerband plus trial and error

 

Thanks Guys really appreciate it...+1
