I just wanted to see where you guys shift at when going WOT, especially those who track their car a lot. I've heard 7k, but I've also heard shifting at 7k+ RPMs is ideal. Thanks in advance NCE.

Have you ever been to a track with your car? Why does it matter where other people shift, you need to figure out where to shift on your own - everyone has their rev limiter set at different RPM's so I have seen people shift at 8k and others at just under 7k, I guess your driving style/valvetrain mods will determine what your car is capable of reving out to.

So basically you're saying all the way until you hit the rev limiter?

Quarter mile purposes. As of my schedule right now, I have no time to hit the track. I just do some pulls late at night on my way home from school.

Depends on your power curve.

You want to shift so the next gear lands in the sweet spot.

I shift only after I've bounced it off the rev limiter three times...and three times only...
Try hitting your rev limiter in reverse...I'll give you a free Mitsu sticka if you post video...

Me too LOL. Usually doesn't work when there's an open road in front of me 'cause for some reason my foot stays on the gas pedal until I get to redline. Solution, buy daily driver.

Damn, you have a disciplined foot bro.

On-ramps are my enemies. They basically make me waste a lot of gas. LOL!

Im just fucking I usually shift before 3k anyways cause of 2 points on my liceanse and no more traffic school for me. Also my car is loud which is awesome, but sucks once you go into Go-Go-Gadget mode.

Most of the time I shift at 2-2.5. However on ramps are my enemy as well, and I can't resist going past 6.5 :( I think I have a problem.
