What RPM do you shift at?
 
I would like to know what rpm you guys shift at on a daily driven basis. I shift at 3000 if im not in a hurry, and 3500 if I am.

3000 when not in a hurry and 3500-5500 when im in a hurry

I'll do that on occasion too. I normaly shift at 2800 when I don't care about accelerating quickly, and I'll shift at 4700 when I want to go. Most of the KA's powerband is in the lower RPMs anyways.

For 1/4 mile times I shift @ 6000RPM, that way I pick up the bulk of the torque band at about 3200RPM. All I can say is "SKIRT!!!"
Daily driving I shift at 3500RPM.

9k







j/k 2500 for DD 6000 if scootin'

LA_phantom_240 04-18-2006 07:39 PM

usually, if im in no big rush and enjoying my stereo, between 1500 (neighborhoods) and 2800rpms, taking off into traffic 1st gear 5-6.5k if i need to get out quickly... if not, then between 2500 and 3500... if i wanna be an as and show off my 240's suprising agility, redline :D

I shift when the rev limiter tells me not to rev any higher. Lol, anywhere in between 1500 and 3000 for normal, and anywhere I need to for other times.

Razo-E 04-19-2006 01:26 PM
