8000 rpm That does seem excessive would of thought 7600rpm would be max you would see the needle go to.

    peak power is the moment you hit the redline and it bounces back and forth

    I think the limiter on mine is 7800. I took it there once on the way back from mapping to see if it sounded like the world was about to end. I do like making the pretty shift light illuminate. Very sensual mood lighting that.

    it is, especially for the standard hydraulic tappets, dunno where the low boost makes peak but a standard engine its at 6500, so there's absolutely no point whatsoever taking it to 7800, as there's sod all torque up there and no power for sure.

    shift at peak back onto torque, BOOM, job jobbed.

    Dumb question.
    Is it faster to shift at peak on a std car or just after
    Or neither and red line it everywhere?

    I'd say about 6800-7000 on average, every 6 I've ever driven has felt slightly different to be honest though so it varies car to car.
