Re: when should i shift?

When you are launching the car off of the line, you should do it at about 3500, or at the rpm where there is just a chirp of the tire and thats it. You want as little wheel spin as possible. And then while going down the track or street you should shift at redline, or just before it. Try to get the most out of the engine before you shift, and while your at the track play around with your launching techniques and what rpm you shift through each gear, your times will let you know whats best for your car.
