What is your favorite combo.
I need to stay in the 4500-6500rpm powerband. I can tach out at 7-7300rpm on the limiter. I have a spare trans I can build up now and then install... whenever. KT |

I was also going to say that can't be right. You have to account for the fact that shifting to a higher gear lowers the torque at the wheels by the new gear ratio. So you'll want to be way higher than the torque peak in second when you shift to third, to get closer to the torque peak, but reduced by more at the wheels. Of course in autocross where things happen so fast and sometimes you don't want to shift (and my 901 is not a quick shifter), you can benefit from having a higher redline even though the torque drops off. |
