Do you take it to redline or shift with the powerband?

QUOTE (dudeofchaos @ Sep 12, 2010 - 10:59 PM)  Always shift at 3k.. Always. Unless I feel like flooring it (When I get real pissed), I can go up to 5.5k. But it's very rare that I will exceed 3k. When I'm in a more sporty-driving mood I usually drive in the 3-4k but not more. 99% of the time I'm always in the 2-3k rpms. I wanna take care of it hehe. Although, at 2k and lower I feel like the car misses power/torque so much, it almost stalls. At 2k and below you are lugging your engine, which puts extra stress on the rods and just generally isn't good for your engine (for those who don't know lugging is basically any time where you can give the engine more gas and the engine is unable to or struggles to increase in RPM). I shift around 3500-4000 RPM on just about every shift, will bring it up to 5k every now and then but anything above 5k just seems to be a waste of gas. -------------------- 1999 Celica GT
