Question about 6speed at track
Went to the track for the first time ever last night. Had a blast.
Just had a question about shifting.
My 2 best runs were:
13.686 at 103.84
13.715 at 104.11
Now to the question.
On both of these runs I never shifted into 4th. I used the Hypertech to move my rev limiter to 6200 rpm. When I hit the end of the quarter in 3rd the Rev limiter kicked in just as I crossed the 1/4 mi mark. my best when shifting into 4th was 14 at 102.
Does it seem right not to be shifting into 4th?

Ideally you want to be crossing the finish line in your 1:1 gear (4th for M6) at redline. So if you were crossing in 3rd you don't have enough gear or enough power. Put some 4.10's in there and that will get you into 4th sooner.
