WHAT'S BEST TO SHIFT AT REDLINE OR TO SHORT SHIFT @5,200 RPM, HP PEAK'S THERE WITH THE STAGE I. I FEEL LIKE AFTER THAT IT'S JUST A LOT OF NOISE AND NO REAL PULLING POWER. ANY INPUT?[8)]
Another question for those interested in accelerating from a stop is what rpm to launch at for best results? Us A4 guys are somewhat limited, but the M5 guys have great latitude here. On my 1/4 drag race program, it appears a good starting point is between 3500 and 4000 rpms or up to a point where traction can be had, whichever comes first.
