[QUOTE="UselessPickles, post: 918085, member: 3256"] Well, which is it? Slightly after peak TQ, or slightly after peak HP? Actually, neither is correct. The best shift point is the point at which the next highest gear begins to accelerate harder than the current gear. It's different per gear. Here's some details: [URL="https://www.fjrforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=108817"]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=108817[/URL] I have some nicer data/graphs than what I have in that post. I'll look for it later and post some actual speed/RPM numbers for the shift points. There's nothing wrong with enjoying its acceleration. Even though it is a sport-tourer that soaks up miles well, it still puts down respectable 1/4 mile times. My best so far is 10.82s @ 127mph (although I have slip-ons and a modified air intake). And I enjoyed the ride to/from the drag strip. [/QUOTE]
