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)

QUOTE(Brad Roberts @ May 4 2003, 12:35 PM) We shift the 2.0 cars at 5K when on the track or AutoX. Typical race people say to shift 400-500 RPM over peek torque. I shift the cars at 3500 when beusting around town. Anybody notice the date on Geoff's dyno run ?? 9.16.00 B The owner's manual for my '73 2.0 says that max. torque is 105 lb*ft at 3500 rpm. Shifting 500 rpm over peak torque would be about 4000 rpm. I'm no expert but that does seem a little low. |
