Re: launching

Yea, maybe not with the T25. But with a modded 14B it is usually like 7300 1st to 2nd, maybe around 6500-7000 2nd to 3rd and 6000 or earlier 3rd to 4th. Depends on the power band though. You can plug your numbers across your powerband along with your gear ratios into shift calculators to find what RPM to shift at in each gear to hold the most power. Turbo cars a bit different thoguh, since the lower the gear, the longer it takes to spool, so often you want to rev it out higher. A lot of people assume(seems to mostly be V8 guys) though that once you hit peak power that you should shift, when it's better top ride the powerband down some so that you come into a good part of the powerband in the next gear.
