Specs: JDM B16a with LSD 5 spd hydro tranny
ok,
Awhile back everyone was talking about if/when they shifted gears while just cruising around town. Some ppl shifted after VTEC, others like at 4K. I've been trying to find shift points, but have failed.
I'm not looking for shift points in the 1/4, (although they would be good to have someday).
It just feels weird on the freeway doing 75 in 5th doing around 4100K, then if I want to punch it, well...it doesn't really go...but, if I downshift...Kazaammmm....
So am I just stuck to putter around in 4th until I'm doing 85 somewhere...
It's just weird having a 7800 redline...what is the optimal rpm for this engine...5K-6K?
Thanks for helping this newb!
Oh yeah, I'm still on 13" steelies til I get some Rotas from Santa...
