what rpm u shift when u race

[j_spec_cb7]

just out of curiousity...when u guyz race(manual)where do u guyz shift at...do u guyz shift at 5,500 where the power ends,or in top of redline at 6,300?or at 6,900?reason y im asking is because i shift at 5,500 when i speed shift(not letting the gas go)at right in top of 6,300 when i quick shift(letting go the gas)but my buddy who has the same motor as me don't shift that way...he shifts at 6,900...yeah my car can do that but i don't wanna risk of blowing my motor..we race one day and he's all stock...motor clutch and tranny...and i'll take him frm my 1st and 2nd but i'll take him about 1-1.5 car away frm me and then when he hits 3rd gear for some reason he comes in out of now where and he just takes me by a fender...and he said he just shift's at 6,900....befor i forget to mention...we are both a F22A4 both manual trans

Yeah I Shift at redline while racing each and everything if the race is serious. (8200 rpms on my car) and if its not so serious I'll short shift and pat the gas pedal.

Normally as mentioned if its not hard around 6500 will suffice for me then if I really want to push the car then I shift around 7200. When I had my A6 I shifted @ redline.

how do you guys shift at such a high rpm, my limiter is at 6200 f22a1

[InvaderTrax]

Neither of them are F22, that's why. The F22 makes no power past about 5800, so the only advantage to shifting higher then that is landing back closer to your peak power

[NAiL05]

We have an h22a...I mentioned what i shift at with my a6 on the second sentence.

[CBAccordA4]

Just try shifting a little bit after your peak power which is at about 55-5800 rpm on f22 I believe, after that, it really doesnt make much power at all. Just because the rev limit is almost a perfect shift point for f22

[JaK FRoSTWhiTE]

1st. - 2nd. 8000rpm
2nd. - 3rd. 8000rpm
4th - 6400rpm

acutally my friend and i are both F22A4...i tried to shift like him earlier at a high rpm..i mean hey our stock F series redline is at 6,300(basing it on the stock tach)i mean were not like a B18A1 that can naturally rev at 7,000...i mean when i tried to shift at 6,900...it makes no sense to me cause when i shift that far...the rpm drops pretty low..it drops at 4,600..same thing as shifting at 6,300...and at the same time i feelt the cars power ending nearly going to 6,000 rpm....and when i tried to go that far...it don't make a jack diffrences because the car just stops pulling...but the weird thing is that i'll take him hard on 1st and 2nd...and he's catch me on he's 3rd...some weird as motor....and were both stock.....

[NAiL05]

3rd is a long ass gear on these motors. And when I mean long I mean long....Takes a lifetime. The reason why i shifted at redline if not a lil past it was so second would be around the power band if not close to it. but third theres not really much hope but to wait.

You have any mods? My motor's top end got a lot stronger with my exhaust. I shift at redline in 1-3 and don't have enough power in other gears...

actually....we both have the same thing...just an intake and a straight pipe exhaust...no catylitic...the onlee diffrences is that i have a 2 inch exhaust and he has a 2 1/4....

[gloryaccordy]

Damn a 2"??? That's like smaller than stock...

I have a 2.25 exhaust and power goes all the way to redline...I don't know how it would be with a 2", probably not much different though.
