I dont get your question...i dont even have a car.I'm only 14...but i do know this...if you go to a dyno...look at where your peak is...then you need to find out how many RPMs your engine gos back when you shift.You want it so when you shift your gaining hp.Some people think that you have to redline til you shift it get you most power.Like i said, shift where your going to still make power.Lets say your peak is at 6000 RPMs and you when you shift...you go back 2000 RPMS.And where you gain the most power is from 5000 to 6000 RPMs.You will want to shift at7000 RPMs.So when you shift the have alot of power.I hope thats your question.
