MiekyG Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 well depending on what kind of car you have, what motor an trans it can varry, but you can buy a rpm tac, and you can just shift when the motor sounds inbetween idle and redline maybe a little lower for casual driving lol ? ? ? ? ime gonna say what i would do idk if it sounds right but i fracks with a R tranny short ass ratios 1st gear - 2nd gear = 14-16 mph 2nd - 3rd gear = 24-27 mph 3rd-4th = 30-40 lol i have no cluee i never really pay attention to that, just to my wideband!!!! theeheheheheheheheh~!~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatch92 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 go a little lower on the gears to get better gas mileage. or you could order a 96-99 civic ex cluster to stuff into your dash. plug and play bitches!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcfbaby Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 true but thats not bad tho right? i like to gain some speed thats why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubbith Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 true but thats not bad tho right? i like to gain some speed thats why So why come on here and ask up when you should shift?... sounds to me like you already have it figured out... i look at it this way... if you bounce it off of the limiter.. you should have shifted a little sooner...
