Hey guys

 

First time running on the strip yesterday didnt do too badly however didnt really get the chance to ask for advise, just wondered what the best rev's are to change gear for max hp and torque. I think I was keeping the car in gear for too long and so lost power.

Good question. I found best launch revs for me was at 3.5k rpm.

 

I didnt redline each gear apart from first as it seemed to get there way too quick, but I think shortshifting would help and changing up especially once you're over 6.5k rpm as you start losing power soon after that.

I have an interesting little simulation program called cartest that you can play with all these variables. its a bit old, but its still good fun. You can even put in your power curve, set your car up and test different parameters.

 

I can email it to you if you want to have a play :)
