Ideally you need a rolling road printout to see where your peak bhp and torque figures coincide. This will show you where your engine has reached the best and needs to change gear?

[bomber1]

yfkt

[Mr Sam]

for the time being turn the light off, go for a hard drive and note the average rpm your chaning gear at or when you feel it stop pulling then set your light to that

 

as others have said the best is to get it on the rollers so you know your peak power and set it at that

 

i took mine out the fezza in the end so used to the car and it doest accelerate mega'ly through the gears so i usually know when to shift

 

 

 

still shift lights fookin rock in the dark, especially down the motorway in 4th gear with the whole interior lit up blue
