PRETTY EFFING SEXY!

Newbie question here... since you know the gear ratios, why wouldn't it be set slighty _lower_ to rev match flywheel speed to road speed (in next gear)?

Wouldn't this minimise the shock to the clutch/transmission... you're going to be bouncing the "no lift" rev limiter anyway.

This was a question i already proposed. He is looking into it with ECUtek because it really does make more sense as far as shock to the driveline is considered.

Whew, looks cool. Need to do a better job of strapping that car to the dyno though. That sucker was hopping all over the place.

Definitely cool

If ecutek can have it revmatch to the proper rpm for the powerband/gear, I would suspect that the strain on the drivetrain would be fairly negligible.

i hope so!

Im going to need a new clutch sooner than expected

That could be a problem.

I'll talk to ecutek about this and most likely have a additional table added so above let's say 7000 rpm it flatfoots an adjustable amount of rpm below instead of above.

Thanks for pointing that out !!

This is a better solution to me, in fact what Hawaiian said makes more sense to me, I feel like the revs should match the next gear, or somewhere close. Holding the revs that high and then throwing it into the next gear, where it wants about 1000-2000rpm less doesn't make much sense to me.

Sweet video, thanks for posting it up. I'm also curious about the future development for flat foot shifting and if they will have predetermined limiters for each gear.

This made my pants tight. I def. agree that it should be dropping rev's and not only 100, maybe 500-1000rpm or more. It should be dropping down far enough to have the engine and transmission rotating as close to same speed as possible to ensure a smoother power transfer.
