At what RPM does everyone shift at?
For 1st to 2nd, i usually shift around 4k, around 4.5 for the other gears, unless I'm crusining around 4k for awhile, then Ill shift into the next gear

That's kinda high for normal driving. I shift at around 2.5 for normal driving and when I want to move I go all the way. Not much of a middle ground for me.
I usually shift also around 4k when just cruising!
hey morpheus, nice profile, but how much can our 4 cylinder accords fuel our addiction for speed?

We have a couple members on this board that are getting close to the 11sec 1/4 mark on the stock engine. One person in particular broke 11 seconds if I am not mistaken. Don't underestimate these cars.Originally posted by krott5333

Well on the stock engine (A20), but the engine is all custom parts, turbo, exhaust, etc. Correct.
Oh yea I usally shift around 3200.

I'm your local R&D nut. Fabracting, welding, tuning and breaking my stuff so you don't have to.
about 3K unless I feel like having fun or I am showing off a little then I like to ream out first and second.
I usually shift at 4k when cruising and when racing well I shift close to 5-6k depending on which gear i'm in.
3k is plenty good for me any higher then you are just using up your gas to go fast
"I woke up in a japanese families wreck room,... And they would not stop yelling!.."
i shift at 3000 rpm every time... unless im crusing.. then i shift at 5500 and it "kisses" the redline when i shift... im getting real good.. cant wait to install the tach with the shift light so i dont have to watch the tach... lol.. more eyes on the road

when u get even better u won't need either u'll just know lol
its not how fast you go, its how fast you get going.
around 3K on regular days, and 6.5K during race on every gear.
Alex.
Daily driving its between 2.5-3k, when racing its 5500-6k.

My 89 Ex-i on Car Domain
Daily driving I shift gears every 4500 rpm and if I fall behind traffic then I go higher 5500.
I drive on 5th gear if the traffic's steady. Just to make up fuel loss from shifting at such high rpm's. :-)
I really don't care too much for gas milage. If I have to put some gas in say 10 or 20 bucks worth then I will (when the price is right).

Ahhh, but on my LXI when I added the DC Sports header, the power stopped dying off at 5700rpms. I had power to redline and more of it period. Adding a header didn't just give me more power, it have me BETTER power. Cause having power to redline made it so when I shifted at redline I was in a better part of the powerband in that next gear, making it even better.Originally posted by DXHATCHBACK

Don't you have a pacesetter header on your car? Maybe the carb'd bit still isnt' letting you have the high end gains with the header like on my LXI.
i need new jets... it runs rich at idle.. nad it leans out at 4000 so its not really geting all it can.. plus when i floor it, it bogs for a second then takes off.. i need a tune up and bigger accel jets

plus my exhaust is pretty restrictive.. i have to have a silencer in or its way too loud... so that, plus its 2 inch pipe...makes it have very little high end.. but off the line its verystrong

i usualy shift at about 4k in first then around 3k there after. or if i feel like going fast (and i use the term 'fast' loosley) i shift at 6k. nothing more fun than a nice take of with no wheel spin then flooring it and flat changing into second (gota love that chirpy sound).
you said your car kisses redline when you shift from 5500... uh... my car's redline is marked at 6200... do you really jump the rpm that much when shifting?Originally posted by DXHATCHBACK

I shift at 3500 around town, and redline it every gear when racing...
My car is supposed to shift right, but it doesn't, the tranny sucks. It revs up to about 5,000 rpms and then shifts. Oh yah, it's an automatic, does that count.

the automatics will never beat a stick with the same money put into it
yeah the good old lude pulls hard from 3800-6500 but if needed it can be taked right to limiter
