is there anyone who reccomends a certain point of rpm's to shift at for each gear...any help would be appreciated

 

well, if you're looking for gas economy around 3,000 0r so... otherwise anywhere above that is ok

 

For what kind of driving? Racing i shift at 7000, daily between3-4

 

shift it all the way its much more fun. i shift at 7200

 

i shift at 8k

 

WTF guys the redline on the ss 6500RPM how the hell are you guys shifting at those high of RPM

 

2.4L Performance forum

the redline on the SS is 6750 (a few have raised it) the redline on the S/C SS is 6450rpm. YOu can't really say SS and mean S/C SS anymore.

 

thanks for clearing that up man!

 

right when my shiftlight comes on. 6200 possibly more by the time i react to it. in first in second if you go up like 4000 and then mash it to the floor you will SMOKE the tires. i cant really lay into my car until 3rd.

 

yeah my 2.4 cuts off at 6500 so i shift at around 6000 to get max horsepower and my zero to sixty is around seven seconds.

 

from L gear I shift to I gear at 5500 RPM and thats about it. lol

 

???? bit of a contradiction here.

what is the redline on a 2.4L SS?

 

well there sholuldn't be any contradiction. Either k2kwj can't read or there is something wrong with his car.

Or he has an automatic. Ultimatley it will decided when it shifts--and at 6500rpm is likely right.

In anny case that does not change WHAT the redline is.
It is 6750rpm. I have hit the 6800rpm fuel shut off too many times.

Rpms are marked off by 500 rpm increments--i but when the display goes over 6500rpm---it has 250rpm increments and is halfway to 7000rpm.

 

We recommend customers with our tune shift at 7000 to take advantage of the fact it's still pulling up there it also the fact it will drop the engine back further into it's powerband.

 

tune shift??? me want! do u have an link where i can check this out?

 

im so so sorry it "yellows" at 6500 i still recomend shifting at around 6000 because dragging it out to red line you risk hitting the limiter and there is no horesepower gain from shifting that late.

 

well our peak torque is at 5000 rpm and hp at 6200rpm. It well go faster if shifted at 6750rpm. Just be careful not to hit the rev limiter. Shifting at 6K rpm will drop it too low. That is of course if your drag racing. If not, yes 6K will still get you going in a hurry.

 

Eh theres not really a huge link, except maybe solstice forum? We sell tuned ECM's for the SS's

 

GTPprix, I've been PMing you about an ECU for my 2.4. Alas you are not responding. I hope it not cause I am a Steerler fan...

 

LOL no I had the damn pop up window off sorry!

 

there is always some of them on ebay.

 

there is always some of them on ebay motors.

 

Daily driving and going for fuel economy, I shift my 2.0 supercharged at 2,000 RPM.

 

You may think your car is actually hitting more than the 6750 rpm limit, but it's not. Your tach is just way off the actual mark. Mine is the same way, I shift it at around 6700 on the tach but I know that it's really only doing 6400 revs or so.

 

I'm talking about a retuned ECM, not something I think you'd find on ebay motors?
