I just bought a car a few weeks ago it has a jdm b16a2 with a jr supercharger running 6lbs and want to know when the ideal times to shift would be to make the car perform at its best while racing
any suggestions or anyone with a similar set up

 

i would shift at the stock redline, unless the motor is built thats about the safest maximmum rpm to shift at......these people that rev way higher than stock redline when there motor isnt built or the motor isnt making anymore power than it was 1500rpm less make me upset.....they like to think that revving to 9500 rpm when there car stopped making power at 8k is a cool thing or something till a rod goes throug the block of there valve drops into the cylinder......

 

get s shiftlite and then you can set it to whenever you want to...

 

God damn you make no fucking sense.

 

well once you figure out when its the best possible time to shift, then you wouldn have to worry about lookin at the tach when you need to shift, thats what i meant by the shift lite

 

hahahha hahahha hahaha

What a waste of a good paragraph.. he's gonna have no idea wtf you were talking about.

 

dumb thread:thmdwn:

 

so is there a certain rpm that im going to be making the most power and should shift or just shift at my stock redline 8200 in every gear, the motor is not built

 

8200 will do you just fine.

 

Unless your Ecu has been modified and had the rev-limiter removed, then you pretty much don't have to worry about blowing up the engine. hence the name rev-limiter. anyways you should shift just before you bounce off the F'n rev-limiter. Like he said a tach with a shift-lite is a good tool to Learn (<-on purpose) you where to shift without hitting the damn rev-limiter.
