Ideal shift points for a remapped LCR

[speedsix]

Using the power graph on Revo's website (all I have to go on) and the gear/final ratios of a LCR I worked out the aprox ideal shift points.

1st > 2nd = 7000rpm

2nd > 3rd = 6500rpm

3rd > 4th = 6250rpm

4th > 5th = 6000rpm


Higher gears are closer together, hence the lower shift points. I've been shifting at around 6500 in all gears previously but this now appears to not be ideal. Never hit the limiter, around 7300rpm isn't it?

Impossible to judge this based on a generic graph. Get your car on a rolling road and look at the power delivery and work it out from there. That way you know exactly what's what.

you also will want to know what rpm you're at when you change into the new gear, not just ragging the crap out of the lower one

As long as the Revo supplied power graph isn't wildly different from my car, it should be accurate enough to calculate a good approx shift point.

Mork, I worked out where the revs will land on each upshift to calculate those figures.

But your SPS3 settings, your ramair and your Forge TIP are all going to affect the power delivery and the way the power is delivered at the top end of the rev range. That's going to shift the peak power and torque around a bit, which could make quite a difference.

You're right that the Revo generic graph helps to get a rough idea, but then you could get that from a standard cars graph too.
