5th gear

I know you said normal driving, but 6.5k for the track. The stock lil 14b runs out of steam after that.

i usually shift at 3 to 4k during normal driving conditions.

I agree with you, but it does depend on who and how you want to drive your car. Going by the manual sucks to early everytime.
