I usually shift at redline, but I'm thinkin its not such a good idea (got dynoed at 234 rwhp w/ peak near 5k). I was told my shift point is right around there (makes sense right?)

What's your shifting point? Or when do you shift?

 

6700.

 

7100rpm

 

5500

 

for a while last year, i was letting the motor rev up over 8000 in the burnout box...

 

um...so do you guys shift near your redline or at peak power or in between?

 

Redline ^_^ Well, like 100 rpms before it hah

 

6400

 

Our cars make max hp at 5250. I hear that shifting at 5500 is optimal because the car stops making any power after that.

 

My 02GT is built and supercharged at 12psi. It makes power all the way to redline. My redline is 6600.
