Been so long ago that I had my 2+2 that I dont remember what speed the 4speed automatic trash was shifting at..

With my 2+0 I seemed to have fixed my power loss issues as far as I can tell
(that means semi granny shifting not power shifting, hard concept to understand when driving a Z32 I know....)

Wanting to compare what speeds/rpms other drivers NA's are shifting at for casual driving

well i usually shift at 2.5k rpms and cruise at 2k or 1.5k.

When i race i shift at 7.3k to let the rpms drop into the bottom of the HP arc

my rpms only drop by 500 when i "granny shift"
