I think forgetting everything else, quicker shifts will see you in the high 11s easy. Nailing the timing of the shifts, maybe even as low as 11.5 with that power.

Get the map tweaked asap IMO before you start looking at dragging again and driving it hard. Once its tweaked, look at the graph again and see where the drop in bhp is and where the torque peak is. on mine it drops perfectly if i change at 6250ish as in the next gear im at about 4000....

Yes agree. Yday when i had a play i could feel the car losing power n i needed to shift earlier thats when i started shifting at 7k n it was so juch better. I think if i do that at the strip i will get into 5th wrll bfre the line rather than jst befre the line

You want that graph to hold til redline. Changing gear wastes time and more gear changes are bad for times.

not exactly true, its better to change into peak power than rev through to red line just to avoid a gear change. the only time id not shift early is if you were within a short distance off the finish line and you could rev through.

Is it fun to drive or a chore?

It's certainly important to hold a 5 speed Newage to the redline, if I dropped to 4200rpm I'd barely be making boost. And changing at 6,250 in mine would probably see me well below my initial spool up rpm of 3800.

Every car needs a different approach. I suppose the only universal advice is change gear as quick as your hand can manage and launch at an rpm that won't bog down or light up the tyres. :confused:

Depends on my plans. I'm thinking of changing setup as lookong at my setup powerband is very narrow. Wna widen it upabit so if that happens the i won't be there if not them il pop down and see if i can get better times on Current setup. If not il give it to you so u can show me how its done :lol1:
