REVUP 6MT vs Non REVUP 6MT Drag Racing *VIDEO*
#61
I'd have to do some calculations to verify. Obviously we're now comparing modded Revups vs modded non-Revups. If there is an advantage to holding revs a bit higher in the higher gears, that can be easily addressed on the non-Revup with a raised rev limiter. I do agree, shift points are critical. For most higher revving motors with decent powerbands, it's usually shift at redline until you get to the 3, 4, and 5th gears. That can change a bit, but usually only by a few hundred rpms here and there.
Simply raising the rev limiter would not be the simple fix. The REVUP has the advantage on the high end. Stock for stock, the power drop off is more noticeable in the non REVUP vs the REVUP.
As for holding shifts longer, if the REVUP shifts at 7200 rpm, and the non REVUP shifts at 6700 rpm, who is going to land higher in the powerband? Gearing is the same with the 3.5 FD (6MT).
If the REVUP lands 3rd gear at 5000 rpm and the non REUP lands in 4500 rpm, who will be higher in the powerband? Look at the difference in HP at 4500 rpm's and 5000 rpm's.
Stock for stock, the REVUP has a slightly less drop-off at high RPM's and lands shifts higher in the powerband.
