Shift Point/Shift Light Question Obviously we cant shift the split second we see the light, and by the time we react the engine has a few more RPMs than when the light came on, so how much lower from your desired shift point do you set your shift light?
Like if you planned to shift at 6000RPM you wouldn't set your light at 6000RPM, but would you set it at 5700, 5800, or 5900 RPM?

300-400 depending on how much power youre making, and also what kind of driver is in the driver seat. I found it was best to log me at WOT, and then see if my shift light was coming on at say....6k, what RPM did i actually shift at.....
You'd be suprised~! Remember, a shift light is just a tool. I'm sure ChrisR told you my thought process:
Anticipate the light in 1-2, watch for it in 2-3, and shift after it's on in 3-4
Woks like a charm for me!
