Downshift Points

[Bravnik]

What gear should you downshift too in order to be in the right RPM for say.....Passing

80MPH =

60MPH =

50MPH =

40MPH =

I know in my old S2000 at 80MPH 4th gear put you right in the sweet spot for say.....Passing at highway speed

its just something you feel. I never even look at my rpms i just know what gear i need.

Try different gears

Usually wherever you usually hit full boost around 3500rpms or so.

80MPH = 5th, 4k

60MPH = 4th, 3.5k

50MPH = 3rd, 4.5k or 4th, 2.8k

40MPH = 3rd, 3k

Those revs are rough estimates, but that's where I like to be. Gives you enough time to hit the ass-end of the torque peak in most cases and then it's just fast fast fast until 5.8
