Hey guys I'm new to the forum and just wanted to ask you guys a question. I just wanted to know what rpms you guys shift at from a dig during a run, I have a pretty much stock 93 lx Hatch basicly just a CAI, Flows, and 3.73's and just wanted a couple peoples opions on where they shift [&:]

 

drop the clutch at 3 and shift out of first at 56, unless you have a automatic then dont race! haha j/k

 

That better have been a joke!

 

+1

 

Haha yeah it was a joke, i just dont know what to tell you with auto. But honestly it depends on more then what i said before..i mean are we talking street tire, track racing...road racing tire pressure? Mainly go out there and play and find out for your self

 

^^ +1 Thats really the only way.... there are alot of different things to look into; not just your RPM's.

 

this is what I did with my other stang at the track. it had 4.10s.....W/o slicks i revd about 3k-3500, then dropped the clutch, and then shifted at 5500-5800,....with 10' slicks i rev to 5800 or so, dropped the clutch [sm=gears.gif], then shifted at 6000rpm.... but on street tires i still spun like crazy with 4.10's revving to 3500. I would start a 2k and work your way up testing which is best to launch at and shift at.

 

I agree, just start at low RPM lauches and see how high you can bring them up. Than once you have your launch figured out than comes knowing where to shift.

 

Explain powershifting?

 

Jeves from AskJeves.com says: Powershifting is effectively shifting without fully releasing the clutch.
