When your engine hits fuel or spark cut, it isn't producing power. It's best to shift before the audible indication of a rev limiter. A visual indication such as a shift light that is on the aim sport line MXL series data displays is a good start to proper shift etiquette.

Wut.
Not going that fast, but it sure feels good doin it.
And if its the least little bit wet, sideways and light up 2nd gear if your not careful.

A few of the modified engines i have built have been met with a pretty lackluster response from the owner. Usually a comment like " yeah, it feels a little smoother i guess"
This is on engines that are making 25% more power, a very noticeable amount. The first one took me a while to figure out. I finally got to the right question with "What RPM do you shift at?"
The response after going back out r3ving it 2K rpm higher (redline) is always fun. :shock:

1st gear-redline
Inbetween-drop clutch,diff locks up along with some wheelspin
terrified passengers
2nd gear- hold it for as long as possible occasionally letting off the accelerator to slow yourself down. Worn subframe bushings will clunk when you let off but just let the sounds of the engine overwhelm them and crank up the stereo.
