How high did you get your rpms? Mine was 7k right after I paid one dollar coming from the Sunshine Skyway Bridge.

 

You should've tried for 9k

 

Mine was at between 6700+ 7000K very close/

 

i agree.. lol

 

His next post would've been whats a rev limiter

 

i dont know his name but one org member shifts at 8k at the track and is shooting for higher.

 

That's krismax, IIRC he's doing it on a stock motor too. Look at the pic in his avatar on post number 7:

I'm wondering how long he's been doing that and how long the motor will last.

 

hmm.. is the red light his Selt belt light?

 

I shift @ 9K in reverse. only after the car is warmed uo tho

 

somtimes i miss R2 and accedentally shift into R-4

 

Way to give a 110%.

 

yea my stock ecu does not have a rev limiter.....???????

what a worthless post....what is it with all fo these stupid posts? the 4th gen forums = a big fat joke.

 

damn 9K rpm's lol i only redlined couple of times and you guys talking about 9K rpms WoW!!

 

Well the more you get close to redline the more likely you are to damage your engine. Just wondering how many people venture into the redzone. Years from now we might find out how long their engines last.

 

The oild pump can't handle 9k

 

in a way this is kidna years from now 9 years later after the car has been out ( well 9 year for the 96ers 10 for the 95ers, etc. . .)

I hit the limiter once @ 7K, other than that, if i rev high I shift at 6K at the latest. its best for us to shift at 5K~5.5K anyway there is no power increase after there anyway (unless you have a mevi or ecu) so revving that far in the band is pointless unless you have power there.

 

No it wasn't

 

you got to 13,700 rpms. Wow.

 

Power tops out at about 6,200 rpm, not 5,000 to 5,500 rpm, so shifting beyond their serves no purpose under normal road conditions.

 

Have you ever looked at a Maxima dyno plot? The HP drops pretty hard after 5200rpm.

I worked in Aurora and I still don't understand why the mall there (Northbrook or whatever) has two taxes for Aurora and Northbrook. And those tolls. Some tax happy people in Chicago area. Maybe if the first Sunshine Skyway didn't fall in to the gulf we wouldn't have to pay a dollar. Bill the ship, construction company and engineers that contributed to it's downfall.

 

What are talking about? Just because our HP (190) peaks at 5600 doesn't mean you have to shift there. At redline there is like 90% of it left. The best way to shift is 6600 for 1-2, 6300 for 2-3 and 6000 for 3-4.

 

Typically peaks at 5.2k.

There's ~70% of it left at red line.

 

I wasnt saying to shift where ther HP peaks, at that point, that is where the torque starts to fall (for stock maxs) according to dyno charts I've seen. So with that in mind why continue to rev into 6.5K if your losing torque?



95 GLE auto with y-pipe, homemade intake, RT Cat, 2.5" Custom Catback, UR UDP. This dyno was a dynojet. I don't know the correction factor. A/F was a little rich but its in the graph.
(not my car)

 

ive never gone past 5.5k..... im automatic but i let go of the gas so the gear shift instead of going high rpm.. cuas ethe car ever accels after 5 sumthing... unless i get a maevi.. even then.. why... and that 5.5 k wac cause i eased of the gas toomuch then the shifter too high then back to lowrrpm... it was weird..

 

u drunk? its 11:30 in the morning

 

 

Tell you what. Go to your local 1/4 mile track. First, do one run shifting at 5200 for 1-2, 2-3 and 3-4.

Then, on the next run, redline first, and shift in between 6200-6400 for 2-3 and 3-4.

Finally, bring back both timeslips.

 

You'll get abetter time if you don't shift into 4th. Just kiss the rev limiter at the top of third.

 

u wont pick up any speed in 4th better to just hold 3rd.

 

In any case, you simply aren't going to get a better time shifting at 5200 rpm. NOBODY shifts at 5200 no matter how afraid they are of hitting their limiter and there's a reason for that.

 

In general you want to shift about 500 rpm's past peak power. More specific, in a stock 4th gen max or a bolt on 4th gen max with the stock intake manifold/cams the only gear you want to shift at redline is 1st. 2nd is more like 6200 and 3rd about 6K. It is all about where you are falling back after an up shift and the power band that is ahead of you after that up shift. In a stock 4th gen max you are better off to shift a little early

And to those who think they are wrapping out to 7K+ with a stock ECU think again. If is definately possible to get your tach to read 7K but the fuel cut is still happeing at about 6.6K. Unless your missing a shift and over reving the motor like I did once your not really reving out to 7K

 

Atleast we know someone tried... and failed

 

im bad at typing.. damm man... heh

5 is teh highest i go.. and thats when im bored and just want to burn teh gas a bit cause after i get full tank...

 

It was like 14,000 RPM. I got a indy car. You didn't know about that did you?
