Default Re: Optimal Shift Timing/Powerband

The optimal shift points are going to be the the rpm at which horsepower (or torque, you get the same answer) in the current gear, starts to fall below the hp (or tq) in the next higher gear.

If the curves dont cross, the optimal point is then the maximum safe mechanical rpm limit for the engine.

Your hp curves can be obtained from a dyno.
