So as the title says, need help trying to figure out where to shift my gears when on the track. I've seem to have hit a wall with what I'm getting out of my car but I know I can get quicker times than what I've put down (best of 13.55 @ 101.06mph). Honestly I've been kissing the rev limiter every gear when I'm going but am starting to think I need to second guess my approach. Anyone have any opinions / suggestions on how to determine best shifting points per gear?

 

I have an AT 5 speed and did 0-60 with Uprev. I played on my shift points 0-60 run using Uprev Cipher performance logging. I noticed that I gain quicker times on redline shifting.

 

I found a pretty informative article on another site which breaks down how to utilize your dyno and get ratio to break down optimal shift points for each specific car / gear. Guess I had some PT (Premature Threading )

In all seriousness, how dependable are these numbers?


How to Calculate Shift Points - Dodge SRT Forum

 

So after an otherwise boring Saturday evening I went ahead and used the data that was provided from that website I found and came up with the following..... For the sake of saving time and spare you from trying to read my horrible handwriting this is what I came up with.


Shift points:
1st Gear = 7,250 RPM
2nd Gear = 6,500 RPM
3rd Gear = 7,000 RPM

Any opinions? Anything I'm missing? Did I completely screw this up?
