Shift on time or RPM

Racer4077 · 12-18-2011, 09:19 PM

I would like to know peoples thoughts on shifting on the throttle stop. I have my TS coming on .200 after the hit...on for 2.500 (give or take). I have tried both shifting on RPM and time. I have been more consistant by shifting at RPM, but run a little more MPH on time shift. So I wanted to see what you guys are doing and what works.

I'm in the time camp. Way more consistent for me. Car climbs when on the stop otherwise. But YMMV.

if my stop comes on @ .2....when do i shift? I'm on the stop for 2.5....

I've set it before at .7, but was thinking its too quick. any thoughts?

.2 on the stop is a good hit !
.80 on the shift is good for me with a stop RPM @ 4200 puts me close to a .90 run @ 165 or so in S/Gas Trim.
Your Stop RPM is important to be consistant if you running S/Gas or S/Comp.Alway's check stop RPM at every track !

Thanks for the info. Chuck. Sounds good to me. I will try it. I have another question for you if you don't mind. If my stall RPM is 5600, what should my on the stop RPM be? I was told to set it at 500 RPM lower than my stall, but I have had problems doing that and running a consistant number.
