trueballerisme · January 4th, 2007, 08:21 PM

sry i know those r hella dumb questions to u guys

jeff · January 4th, 2007, 08:22 PM

redline is the cars maximum rpm it can put out.

Onemanzu · January 4th, 2007, 08:31 PM

... usually marked by a redline on the tachometer...

how the hell do you have 800 posts??

kerry · January 4th, 2007, 08:35 PM

mines red lined at like 4500... lol yea POS engine but i usually shift a lil under cuz after 4100, there is nothing left but over reving it. even at 4100 i can churp 2nd.

Onemanzu · January 4th, 2007, 08:43 PM

thats right at where i used to chirp second then i got new tires

jeff · January 4th, 2007, 09:06 PM

No onemanzu, your readline on a v6 is under the readline on the gauges.

Onemanzu · January 4th, 2007, 09:10 PM

not on mine the red marks start at about 4.5k and i have gone up to 5k so ... yea... plus on my old car i got it past the redline on that...

usually their is not benifit going past it either way

crazyjones · January 4th, 2007, 10:08 PM

When racing i dont noramlly look at the gauges from first to second, i just listen to the engine. Thats probably messing up my acceleration, but wen every1 around ur town only has hondas it doesnt really matter, lol.

You must have manual then, my redline on the gauge starts after 5k.
auto has the govener bounce the needle right off 4k

Chip it and get rid of that governor. Your car will be so much faster....I usually shift mine right at or under red line. The reason why the tires chirp (mine does as well) is because we have one wheel wonders (unfortunately). Get a t-lock and see if they churp. I would love to light both tires up with a t-lock.

Onemanzu · January 4th, 2007, 10:29 PM

its not the govenor.. its just your computer... keep the govenor their they are good for you know matter what you wanna believe... they protect your car

but your computer is shifting at 4k you can reflash it and get it moved up or down

my old car had posi and would chirp from time to time... but those tires were bold and were easy to chirp

mustang1072 · January 4th, 2007, 10:42 PM

my car is a 00 and like i said it redlines @ 5275 n when i race i shift @ 5k should it b higher or lower??

itschristorres8 · January 5th, 2007, 12:00 AM

Onemanzu · January 5th, 2007, 12:13 AM

well find a dyno sheet of the stock stang you have and right where the horse pwer is maxed you should shift... of course they aren't the same for every car but it will give you an idea

kerry · January 5th, 2007, 01:26 AM

also the year plays an important role, my 94 is redlined at lil over 4500 while the new ones have an extra like 500. either way, i dont believe there is anything left up that high.

itschristorres8 · January 5th, 2007, 01:37 AM

the older model cars reached high torque at lower rpms
which is a good thing
unlike hondas that need to go all the way to 7krpms or more

mustang1072 · January 5th, 2007, 02:11 AM

hey can someone find a dyno sheet 4 my 00 n post it? cause my computer is acting !

Onemanzu · January 5th, 2007, 02:14 AM
