Why are you trying to reach 100 on 5th? with your diameter tires, you can reach 100 in 4th while only at 5500 rpm. Are you just running out of track?? But regardless I still don't understand why you'd shift into 5th beforehand? I think precisionboost or someone on daewootech calculated the optimal shift point from 4-5 would be ~5750 rpm
I'm coming out of turn 9 dog leg right 3rd gear to the floor. Shifting to 4th out of the corner, after which I still have a half mile. Just before Quarter mile down, I shift to 5th. I'm tapping out every gear, the DAEWOO motor just had nothing left. At Pacific Raceways, you don't have time to look down much at your gauges, shifting etc., is all based on listening to rpm's, so I really don't know where I was at in the range.
