I shift around 3-4k normally when im not in a hurry what do you guys shift at?

 

3k is the start of the powerband, so i shift around 4-5k

 

normally, its about 4500 in first, 4000 in second, 3000 in third, 3000 in fourth. other than that, when im doing a little spirited driving, its buzzer time!

 

3k to 3.5k street. When I want to go it's at 7200-7400.

 

Normal driving 4000, get up and go 6000-7000

 

Normal driving 4-4.5k
Spirited Driving - Buzzer

I thought that was what the buzzer was for.

 

I don't think I heard my buzzer work and I have redline mine before a few times.

 

I like to shift before 3k.. normal city driveing. sometimes when I want to get somewhere fast or scare the **** out my wife or passenger.. i go to 7K. I have no mods, 12A, carb in desperate need of rebuild. I also have a low clutch.

 

I shift @ 7.5-8K unless I need to drive nice in front of cops.
There's no real power under 4K.

 

Before I modded my car I'd go at about 3,500 - 3,300 - 3,100 - 2,900 - Whenever

After the mods about 3,500 to 4,000

 

4000'ish driving normally, buzzer for fun

 

buzzer all day,everytime im in the 7

 

You guys that buzz all the time, how is your fuel economy? I'm really interested, because my setup has no power under 4000, so I'm always taking it to ~6+ and get about 11MPG.

 

on my 12A i got about 350k to a tank, revin' it to 6+ most of the time

im afraid to know what this holley setup will do... haha

 

4-5K street, 6K for everyday fun like onramps, 7K for "I wanna beat this guy to the merge".

21.9MPG.

 

I cant believe most u guys redline every shift how many miles are on your abused engines?

 

Dude unlike a piston engine a rotary isnt abuesd by red lining.

 

lol^^^^^

 

Totally shortshift it at around 4k, but if the situation calls for it, I'm not afraid to redline.

 

Mmmm I usually shift around 4000, it's reasonable for normal traffic, ppl behind me get pissed off though :P

 

You might wanna ditch that holley and get up with Sterling. I've got a holley on mine now, and I absolutely HATE it. You can't corner worth a ****, and it runs rich as hell. Thanks to RB, I can't jet the secondaries down because they drilled out the threads to run an open jet hole. I'm almost done porting my intake. Just waiting on an intake gasket. I'll take pics of the intake, and with the Sterling installed.

 

I shift really low like around 2000-2500 for just daily driving, spirited shifts are approx 7300-7500. With horrible tuning I'm getting around 450KM to a tank=18MPGish.

About 2, maybe 2500.

 

Normally I shift aroun 4k but I run her to 7k all the time, I get about 15-16MPG
