Do you then try to hold the throttle at 3k till the tires hook up? What have you found to be the best in first?

I would like to know when to change gears to acheive the most performance from my coupe. Forinstance when to change from 1st to 2nd and so on....as in what rpm to change.

THANKS IN ADVANCE.

99 MCOUPE w/ Dinan chip, exhaust and intake.

1-2 red line all other gears 5500-6200. This is where I get the best 1/4 mile times. Done 4.9 and 13.8 best usually get around 5.2-5.4 and 13.9-14.3 All stock. Drop 1st at 3000 run tires at 32psi all the way around. Since you are running Dinan you might change at closer to 6200 or even higher.

Drive safe, Good luck.
