What if your car can rev to 9,000 rpm but highest H.P. is made at 7,000 rpm.
Shift at 9,000rpm?????

Plenty of people here have limiters at 8000, no extra power is made at 8000, but they do it so they can keep more power on in the next gear

You kind off got it

but it's a bit more complicated when you use trans. gear ratios, H.P curve, top H.P. & highest redline. Like what if you make highest H.P. between 6k & 7k & you have your redline/peak rpm set at 9k.?

You were to fast

or what if they shift at the 8k rpm that you said & top H.P is at 6,500 rpm & the drop from gear to gear is from the 8k rpm shifting to 6,500 rpm. Is that ok???
