I'm launching at 2k RPM on my stock runcraps. 1st gear I find I do better shifting at 5k RPM, then riding 2nd & 3rd to redline and 4th to as far as I can before passing the line.
I'd appreciate other members input on their usage of first gear. I find that it climbs RPM's quickly, and has too much torque for my stock run flats. This is why I find myself shifting early into 2nd. Around 5k in first gear (before/after) I can feel the tires not gripping.
Another valuable thing to know, would switching to stickier tires require me to take first gear all the way to redline?
I'm thinking of trying 1/8 mile tracks just to work on shifting 2nd to 3rd faster. There's an 1/8 mile track closer to me than the nearest 1/4 mile track. Would this have any merit or be just a waste of time.
