4k for the break in, will probably bump it up to 7k once i hit 1000 miles

I set mine at 6400. That where it makes peak torque.

J_kennington 06-07-2014 07:17 PM

9000, cause...."OMG HIS POWER LEVEL IS OVER 9000"

I didn't. I shift according to sound and feel of whatever gear I'm in. Otherwise, 4500 rpm for the smoothest shifting for DDing where I live.

Then raise it... You want the peak torque to fall on the next gear when you shift..

I set mine at 7k, not because I ever get that high, but for the tach sweep. BRZ does it standard I think, FR-S only does with the light active.

Assuming you're talking about the shift light (and not an actual rev limiter, as the title states):

I set mine for 7000 rpm. I normally shift at 7000 rpm at the track, but it's nice to know I have another ~400 rpm to play with once the shift light comes on.

I turned mine off, because only sissies need lights.....

I set my shift light for 6,500 because ........ by the time I can react to let off the gas ..... I'm just below the rev limiter ...... yep, the ol reflexes ain't what they used to be .... :(

somewhere betweek 6 and 7 for me. Seven is ideal but not enough time for the A/T to shift in lower gears. 6500 feels good.

Chad86 06-08-2014 12:11 PM

I'm thinking I will be setting the shift light to 7000 RPM.
Where does the Rev Limiter actually kick in? 7400 or 7500 RPMs?
