Shift points?

Supra · August 8th, 2011, 12:49 AM

Im gonna be headed to the track next month with my 04 Mach. Just curious what kinda RPM you guys are launching at, and what RPM you shift at. I was thinking about 67 or 6800?

Also, what should I expect to run for time approximately?

Only mods are an O/R X pipe, bama tune, M/T ET street radials, and K&N filter

The only way to find out what the best run to launch at is try launching at different rpm. Before my motor work I would shift around 5850, if I remember correctly.

Depending on how good you can drive I would expect 13.0's-12.7's with good driver.

My friends mach with exhaust and lowering springs was trapping 106 at low 13's. I think he was launching low because he couldn't catch traction, he was shifting at 6300 I believe.

Find it very hard to believe a near stock mach would ever break into the 12s, mid to low l13s at very best.

Mach Boy · August 10th, 2011, 12:49 AM

It all depends on how well he can hook with those tires.

6500 rpms is the best shiftpoint imo

I shift at 6300

1989Gt. · August 11th, 2011, 02:01 PM

yeah 6300 isnt bad

BMR Tech · August 11th, 2011, 02:12 PM

With stock gears, you will probably have your best results shifting:

1-2 @ 6700
2-3@6500
3-4@6300

If that were my car, and the weather was decent....I would expect around a 13.0....give or take a tenth or two.

Too many variables. I powershift no matter what car I am in, no matter what....when going down the track. That alone can be worth a tenth or two. The DA and your sixty foot will be the biggest factors for you.

Not knowing anything about you or your car, I will guess and say 13.19@106.45

Update:

On a windy day i managed to get a 12.9 @ 107 mph, 1.8 60 ft. Im pretty confident I can squeeze another tenth out of it for sure on a nicer day.

yea aint no mach1 with exhaust only gettting high 12's low 13's

Sorry brah, but i was there and it was close to hitting another 12.9 that day

PsnSnake_19 · September 20th, 2011, 10:35 AM

my car has more hp from the factory and with a good driver it gets 13.9, maybe with exhaust intake and some good slicks thats a different story

You have an 01 Cobra and you can only pull off a 13.9 with a "good" driver or am I missing something?
