i know, this is a retarded question...... but please advise me what this means.. i have the hypertech programmer on my car
and have the rev set at 6600... what does this mean +1 1-2 shift, or +1, +3.. etc..... 2-3 +1, +2, +3 etc... i am still tapping my rev limiter with it set at 6600... mods in sig. if you guys are running the same mods, and also doing the hpp3, where are your settings at? and please tell me what the +1, +2, +3 stuff means....

describe what the +1 is etc..


thanks

-Mike

 

i have mine set at +2, +3, +6.........if u have the instructions there is a table in there for it........i wil try and find a link, if not, i will just post up the shift table for your gear ratio.

what gears do u have?

 

yea, but what does the +1 or -1 mean?

 

here ya go

shift points
hope this helps

it is kinda hard to understand, so just post up your gear ratio, and ill post the table.

 

increase/decrease in shift point rpm

 

Since your car is shifted according to speed, that allows the car to go that much more mph's before it shifts to the next gear. Depending on what gear ratio you have is how much more rpm's it will stay in that gear. I would be careful about having the rev limiter at that high, I dont think it is a very good idea to let ur stock engine rev that high. Mine is set at +1, and rest are 0, just so I can catch that little extra first gear.

 

the reason i have the rev so high, is because of the cam and 1.6 rr's nice cam.... should it still not be that high??

 

REAR GEAR RATIOS 3.42:1 and 3.45:1
1-2 SHIFT 2-3 SHIFT 3-4 SHIFT
1 MPH = 1 MPH = 1 MPH =
135 RPM 70 RPM 40 RPM


^ for instance.... 1 mph = 135 rpm .....ok.. 135 rpm over what though??

 

over stock,

1-2 5700
2-3 5700
3-4 5500

i guess u have a 3.42 gear, if u want, i can make it simple and just post up the actual rpm each +/- for that gear ratio

 

please do onefast. i would also like to thank you for helping me out here.

 

no problem, im gonna see if a digi pic will work, if not will just post them....

pic looks like it will work, ask questions abpout the numbers if u need to



EDIT*** about your rev limiter, set it to 6600, and see if i really continues making power up to that point, if not, lower, best way to find your rev limiter/shiftpoints is to get the car dynoed so u can see hwere it stops making power. stock LT1s give up about 5800 - 6000 or so.

 

are those starts next to the ones you set your car at? i always wondered what the optimal shift points were

 

OK, I have the same problem. What should I set mine at with 3.73 and mods in sig.
Thanks
Andy

 

The + or - means +Xmph for the shift or -Xmph for the shift.

 

i use both sets that have markings by them....optimal for your car may be different, but for mostly stock its pretty good.....i would go up higher but i have my nitrous window switch set for 5800, so if shift at 58XX, the nitrous isnt shut off as long as it would be if i had it set to 59XX...nitrous runs +1/+2(58xx)....all motor +2/+3 (59XX)
