Shift Point For 1/4 Mile

Recommended Posts

What RPM do you guys shift at for optimal quarter times? I have been at 6200 ish but boost from the 18t is only like 12 psi by then.. drops hard after 5k rpms.. Sooo I'm think about trying a 5 or 5500 rpm shift point for a couple runs and see what happens.. Any imput? I can list mods if it helps... Basically 18T with all supporting mods....

Since no one else has replied, you might be better off looking for help in the Perf. section or Maintenance for help with that boost fade. Pretty sure there's been a lot of threads discussing boost fade and potential solutions. You should probably fix that boost fade before you start shifting differently. Did you ever get your rich code fixed?

Everyone is going to have a different opinion and it also matters what your transmission gear ratios are. Above is a recommended 6K. I would recommend 7K but thats because my tune and trans are different. So, find your sweet spot and go for it. To control wheel spin shift sooner from first to second and let second do the real pulling.

Was wondering about that since 1st is boost limited anyways...
