This topic came up on the other BBS and I read lots of interesting opinions. I'm wondering what are the thoughts of the folks on this BBS. It seems to me I have been shifting too early and cruising in too high a gear. I was cruising at about 2400, maybe I shoulda been down a gear and running a higher RPM. Also, on a stock 2.0 at about what mph on the freeway do you take 5th gear? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

i suppose that very much depends on your engine setup and the gearing of your transmission. i remember that brad had some dyno charts that showed RPM/HP ration on a stock 2.0L ...
damm alzheimer kicking in, but somehow the number 4600 comes to mind to be a good shifting RPM. you want to be OVER the top HP for that gear when you shift up so you hit the HP peak for the next higher gear right away ... anyone here with the real numbers? Andy |
