Depends on what driving you are doing. Casual cruise driving I probably shift out of first before 3k RPM which is probably 20-30mph? If you are pushing the car at WOT, shift right before the redline.
im saying what is your speed at redline in 1st 2nd 3rd etc.
my co-worker seems to think that we redline going 15 or 20

depending on your driving style.. some likes to redline then shift!!hehehehe. i'd say 4000 on 1st and 2nd then do the math.
i do at liek about 2k to make myself think im prolonging the motor..
before i roasted the stock clutch i was able to hit almost 35 in first. at redline. second about 55-60 and so on. 5spd 7G's can stomp on most handas.
i'm notorious for bogging the engine all the time, i like keeping the RPMs between 2 and 2.5rpm
I do that too. Sucks with the prothanes, lots of vibration in low low RPMs trying to accellerate :P

if they had a personality, the motor mounts would have crawled out from under the hood and raped you and your familyQuote:

i shift in the 3-3.5 range in first, if im racing on some shit or in a rush then im shifting at 4k. But then by that time im already doing 40 or so.
when i was turbo i would try to get out of first asap. most of the time it would chirp going into second, but every now and then it would keep burning out and i'd be going 20mph :roll: too bad i only had the LSD for a few weeks before the CHP said no more
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:Quote:
