As a follow up to an earlier question I had about my perceived loss of turbo boost.

What are the ideal shift points in each gear to maximun turbo boost(stock car)?

Also is there a point in each gear where the turbo power levels off? Like say if you accelerate past a certain rpm in a certain gear?

Thanks for the help

the time you nail nail the clutch you're maxxed, so look for 4800-5000 for your aggressive shifting, otherwise about 3500 is perfect.

so does that mean i should feel a real "pull" from 2K through 5K rpm?

I'm asking because it feels like, while still accelerating, the actual pull (or boost) levels off after about 3k-3.5K rpm

but your hp level should peak at 5K rpms. You want to shift around 5500-6K rpms if you wish to make the car as fast as it can go. If you shift too early you end up losing momentum during shifts and lose more time to gain the speed back. While your running stock boost you should hold that boost level to 6K easy. But when you get a chip you will notice that boost levels drop off after 5500 rpms.

Get a chip and your tq won't flatten out until 5500 too!

My K03 race chip tq peaked at 3800 rpms making over 300+ lbs and hp peaked at 4800 rpms making 250+ hp.
