Time to argue?! When to shift

I think I'd have to agree with ford50, it depends on the race.

I usually shift at about 7900-8000 RPMs. My redline is 8200, but my MSD 6AL cuts spark at 8000 RPMs. Peak TQ is at 7200, Peak HP is at 7600. I shift higher to account for the drop in RPMs. I don't consider myself a "great" stick driver.

Maybe this coming year you can head up w/ me and a few friends to Kilcare and practice the "slam shifting". You are the one that lives in Dayton right? Wheres the big "cruise fest" gonna be this year? You should come to Eaton for its big car show, slowly but surly the shows turning into a sport compact show. Right around 500 cars last year.
