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

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).

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.

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.
