Goldmember Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 In daily driving. I think the PI doesn't really start cooking until 3500 RPM so that's where I'm taking to shifting. Obviously I'll adjust that down if I'm in traffic.Seems a little high to me, is that going to cause undue wear on the drivetrain? And what I would give for 3.73's... Driving a stock PI with 3.27's feels a lot like an old 5.0 with 2.73's. Like it's dragging a boat anchor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iRoush Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 before mods I'd shift at 2500 just cruising. after mods, I shift at 2000.at wot I'd shift at 6k before, now I shift anywhere from 7000-8500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joekd Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 I tend to be lazy when driving "normal" and skip gears but even then I am shifting around 3500RPM, also I have 4.10's if it matters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F8L GT Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 I just shift whenever needed I guess. I never pay attention to the RPMs, only listen. Its pretty much a habit of driving a stick all my lifeSent from my MILESTONE3 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
