[Shotimes] Re: Dyno charts

[Don McKinnon (AST)]

Life can be so simple sometimes!

If I'm just cruising along ~2k rpms, drop 2 gears and go, if I'm around 4k
its 1 gear and go.  I know the sounds and feel my SHO feeds back to me
without having to look at the tach or light to tell me when to shift!

I wish I knew always knew what the feedback my wife gives me meant!

Not exactly.  I have never seen or used a shift light, but doesn't it just
light up at the optimal point to shift to the next gear?  No, this would be
used for when I am just cruising at 45 and the IROC-Z next to me wants to
play.  I would look at the display, and it tells me that I need to hit 2nd
or 3rd or whatever, and off I go.  Make sense?
