Shifting a FI Car

I agree, its about the actual RPM that you begin the shift, and how quickly you are expecting the synchronization to occur. The gas peddle position is mostly irrelevant once the clutch has been disengaged. I shift at 7500 with my setup, as I expect most people here will be. I did not do it long on the stock type clutch configuration, so maybe I should stress a little more that all my experience has been with lightweight racing clutches and perhaps with a stock style clutch, others may not see the same endurance in their trans.
