For fastest results? Never really manually shifted much with the paddle shifters in sport mode. I'm not even 100% where the redline is. It gets grey at 6500, and more grey at 7000. Should I be shifting right at 7000 or...a bit before?


It's the base model which is 3.15 gears I believe.

For drag racing don't use the paddles at all. It's an auto, let it do its job. Do you have it tuned? If not the rev limiter is 6800.

Yeah I agree its something you have to really test over and over to find a sweet spot. I find using the paddles is not a good idea though but it really depends. On my first lund tune I found that shifting at 7200-7300 was better than shifting at say 7800 for example. Honestly I would just put it in S and go.

Put in S and downshift into whatever gear you want, it will hold it, then go WOT and then bump into drive and let the computer shift it for you.

^^^this or hit the paddle 2 seconds before you want to hit the limiter.
