I did a search and havent found anything on this...

Just wondering what the best shift points are for the s13. Im thinking 6k but maybe Im wrong, it just loses power after that, what shift points have you all had the best luck with? Thanks.

Shift points for good gas mileage are usually around 3k. Which isn't all that exciting. ;)

Shift points for having fun entail figuring out where in your rpm range the car is making it's power, and shifting before that point so that after the shift is made, you're IN that power range.

Have you ever dynoed your car before? If not, try to locate some dyno plots for other S13s with similar mods (if any) to yours. Study them and note where the power seems to be at what rpm.

This probably didn't help much, but that's all I have to offer. :)
