Auto Shift Points for E.T.
Technical guide, team.
Suppose you had the opportunity to fiddle with the shift points on your auto trans. You have a dyno printout that shows your current torque peak and your current horsepower peak.
Where do you want your transmission to upshift for best ET? Should it shift on the torque peak, after the torque peak, on the horsepower peak, after the horsepower peak?
I've always wondered about this.
