RE: RPM's

I don't ever shift, I take my fist gear to 10k each time I start 'er up.

When I am racing I shift at the redline or around 5900RPMs, whe I am driving normally I shift at 2,000-2,500 RPM's.

RE: RPM's

Basically whenever I feel like it. I'm not big on fuel economy so I'm going to drive and shift like this car was made to do. Generally like 3 grand or so...I like to go fastoff the line and getting upto speed.[sm=badbadbad.gif]

RE: RPM's

For me its what ever sounds right to me. I let the motor and the sound of the exhaust decide when to shift. She will tell you what works for her! If I didn't have a tach it wouldn't matter.
