Based on your own experience (5spd peeps), at what RPM do you guys shift at when going for max performance? Touch redline or no?

typeR

in first about 6900 ,2nd 71oo and third as close to the 7200 fuel cut as you can get

I've found shifting as close to the fuel cutoff as you can get is the best. If you shift early in 1st you will not be in VTEC when it hits second.

I remember calculating this a couple of years ago and the result was just before fuel cutoff.

espcially if you have headers, the Power curve will shift up and it's biased to give great gains at the nearest to redline possible.

typeR

my recomendation stands obviously were looking to get the car to shift the milli second before fuel cut , and with the quicker pace of 1st gear you'll have to react early 6900...2nd about 71 if youre fast third is easy

ST2000

where exactly is the fuel cut off? is it around 7200 or differrent in each gear.

Nashua_Night_Hawk

I think it is 7100 rpms.

darrinb

as close to the limiter as u can w/o hitting it

I'm with TypeR, but in my case I can time it just right and pop into gear at 7200.

there's no way you're starting the 1-2 shift when the rpm gauge is at 7200...momentum would carry it to 75+ at that rate of accelleration im speaking of the point when you acctually move your hand

That makes sense.... while you're moving your hand, the car will keep accelerating into the red.

mattg

when the car stutters from the fuel cut off, it's time to shift.

Juker008

Ahhh ok then I would definatly agree with what u wrote. What I meant was that when going into teh next gear I am at 7200.
