Do you shift at redline?

[UndergroundR32]

For those of you with upgraded turbos, maybe a 16 or 20g, do you shift at redline or lower RPM?

as high as your motor will go.

Ive been shifting about 6700-6800 rpm. But my boost will hold all the way to redline at 1.45bar. I done redline but I dont see a point to it. The faster I get to third , the more pull I will get

You still have decent boost at 7000?

No, with better cams you just find the sweet spot, but stock I shift at about 6500 to 6700

Well going to redline may not be the optimal point for shifting during a race. With a 16G making a peak 270hp 5400rpms, by 7400rpms that power fell off to a measly 147hp. I find it best to not shift right at peak power but a little after to keep the car in it's power band for the next gear. Only way to find that is dyno time and then practice at the track.
