Why shift at 7500 when you don’t have to. My car has gone 9.42 shifting at 7000 and I lowered it to 6700 this year because the engine is on its 4th race season. Looks like I may have lost .01
But it’s hard to tell with the hot humid weather we have been having this year.


RPM is power. If you gear the car and use RPM you'll go faster. 7000 is NOT a lot of RPM.
