i go all the way till the buzzer tells me to shift, but that's only occassionaly like with a new fresh tank of gas or at the drag strip. otherwise i usually shift between 5500 to 6000, long enough to feel the excitement of turbo power, but early enough to save some gas and engine life.

Perhaps he has an aftermarket tach, or something like an SAFC.

Rev a car to 10K RPMs? Many clutch and pressure plates have a sign on the side of the box that says not to rev the engine above a certain RPM. That’s because they can come apart. Exploding clutch components are the reason some racers run with scatter shields or tranny blankets. If a clutch or pressure plate comes apart at 10K without a tranny blanket/scatter shield, there’s a good chance it will come through the bell housing and the floor of the car.

or he could just be a dumbass...

theres always that possibility...but maybe he had the acceleration and enertia to continue to accel his engine past the redline, rev limiter, and just happened to have an aftermarket tach/safc to see it.

Or he could be running a Bridgeported motor?

I've found that shifting at 7300 works the best on my stock port NA. Its not making anymore power up high but it keeps it high up enough on the next gear. The only place where my car feels like its accelerating is like 5500-7000 rpm https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/dry.png

you can do that for a bit, but stuff does break. we had a stationary gear come out on us it wasnt pretty. pretty much destroyed the entire motor
How do you know it was 10K? The s4 tachs only go to 8K or he could just be a dumbass... |
