In the world of Engineering, graphs are useless without axis titles. Just something we're told non-stop...

Graphs are only useless without axis titles if the title is something less obvious. I titled mine both as Blank vs. Blank - its pretty much the same thing as an axis title. And the titles really don't matter in this case because I pulled the numbers out of my butt to illustrate a point anyway. The exact figures don't matter.

I'm not an engineer, though - I'm a physics major.

P.S. - And by the way, I just do way too much research.

Although I do have some mechanical experience.

Wow this thread gives me a headache... How about shift when it feels right, that's generally what most peopledo anyways cuz it's too difficult to look down while racing.

i used to practce shifting in my friends Civic ( IT WAs THE ONLY CAR AVAILABLE 2 ME @ THE TIME WITH A MANUAL lol) and i used to do like grandpa used to listen to the engine wind out you'll hear it wanna go 2 the next gear, i realize this is probably a less affective way but i'd like o learn how differnet gears have different sweet spots (i thats true)

Every gear should have its own sweet spot, and as far as what XanthosV6 said :bangdesk: I definately agree!

Is it wrong that I actually understood that equation?


ugh. As far as I know I'm done with math classes and damn happy about it.

everygear SHOULD have a different rev limit/shif point, but judging by the other LS3's out there dyno's out there (stock), you will probably need to shift very close to redline (6500 rpm or so).

My guess is that it may be the optimal RPM to shift at for the 6-speed... Any other guesses

it would be like drag racing in need for speed!

It doesn't give me a headache ~ I like to know what the recommendations are and the logic behind it, but for me it really comes down to the feel. That's why I opted for the stick.

And while this is a fine way to drive, its not the most efficient. The problem is that the gear your in doesn't give a hoot what the gear ratio will be after you shift - feel won't change based on the next gear, but will stay the same for every gear. So while you can feel when the engine wants to shift, you have to do the math and research to know when the transmission wants to shift.

that's why you practice the shifts while looking down, learning what each shift sounds like. i shift at a different point for just about every gear in my truck, but i rarely look at the tach anymore because i learned what each rpm sounds like

Using a GTECH, I was able to gain 2mph at the track by changing my shiftpoint ~200 rpm. The differences between shift points between different gears shouldn't be that much, no more than 150 rpm. Obviously, the gearing of each gear will make a difference.

Don't remind me lol i know math has almost everything to do with cars & driving but i'll admit that was just too much for me lol,
i wish i knew someone with a manual to practice on but w/e
