I wouldnt set it that low. You should be able to set it above 6000.

I know at the track, i watch the tach, and I begin my shift right after 6000 rpms. By the time my body reacts, I am right at redline. I have only hit the limiter once or twice doing it that way.

well then there ya go. I figured during the 1st shift that would be valuable but after that, once you trained yourself, hehe, you'd be havin this blue light starin at ya for a sec before you shift...

i'm an auto but i still manually shift on the track because my ET times are cut by 0.2 seconds which is pretty good although my 1\8th is still the same regardless if i shift or not.

From 2nd to 3rd, that will be a quick shift so it will be valuable there.
From 3rd to 4th and 4th to 5th, it will be slower so train yourself when you will shift during those instances.

He'll never make it to 5th gear on the track with his setup. I should say he shouldn't have to shift to 5th gear on his setup if he drives right.

If I remember correctly, there actually is a difference in where the rev limiter is between '06 and '07. The '07's have a 6500 limit, and the '06 has a 6200. The redline just didn't change.

Or am I just making things up?
