Wow! Coming out of my friends street today, i was driving hard (fun ) and instead of my normal 7000-7500 shifting, i tried the peak torque thing RETed was talking about...

Whoa!

I ****** CHIRPED and spun for about 1/2 a second in the shift from 1st to 2nd at around 6300-6500 RPMs, it landed me in 4th around 4500 RPMs. I was like DAMN!

The only other car i've ridden in that did that was my friends 240SX with a Turbo kit running 10psi I was thinking "man my car would never have enough power to do that *dream* "


Felt sooo nice for the rear to chirp and almost fishtail out like that!

I'm sure the TII guys can do this any time. But I am just stunned at how my N/A did it! hehehehe..

Oh well.. sorry if this bored/annoyed anyone.. not much of an acomplishment i guess.

I dunno, maybe this shifting at 6xxxx RPMs is better than waiting til max HP way up at 7.

 

yeah its nice to hear that sound goin in & out of gears....

 

Sometimes, I just turn the radio off, and liseten to where my car wants me to shift her. Man, hitting the power band dead on feels soooooooo sweet!!

 

Finally! A believer! Just remember, peak torque always equals peak acceleration.

 

Considering a N/A has like -7 billion ft/lb of torque, shifting in the right place is the key to winning races!!

 

Boy, these kids nowadays are so stubborn...

Torque is sooo much fun.

 

Hell yeah!

We gotta get an archive thread or something with the best shift points for a stock (or modded stockport) 86-88 and 89-91 N/A's and Turbo's as well.

Then all of us forum guys/girls will know how to kick *** in the races. (like gear ratios so the shift point is DIFFERENT for every gear etc...)
