Ok probrably sounds like a dumb question, but In your opinions... When racing what is the best rpm to shift to get the most consistant power in each gear??? I have an 01 Gt Sometimes i bring the rpm's up to 5500 then shift and other times i shift at 5000 ? The car feels strong regardless of either rpm, but i want to try to get consitent times when running at the track? My best run has been 13.9 at 101 I have nothing done to my car other then a flowmaster exhaust.
