That's just the first 2 short gears - no difference.
I spoke with him and if you notice on the night run he went 2mph faster. He shifted 3-4 well under 6k.

Got to disagree with you kind sir. Hes shifting pass 6k on 3rd gear in that run. Not just first 2 gears. As for the night race he doesnt vid his tachometer, so i cant tell you when he shifted.
Heres another video-

On 3rd gear he goes past 6.
Im mot saying you are wrong that the money spot is 5600-5800.. All im saying is homeboy here is indeed shiftinb at or pass 6k

If it's big turbo I'd hope he is shifting well past 6k. I think this convo has gotten confusing in relation to the video shifting vs what people should be shifting depending on what turbo they have.

I was just referencing towards a is20 fast trap guy who seems to be shifting at or past 6k on his runs. In regards to expert knowledge on proper shift points in the 1/4 mi, I have no arguement or disagreeing because I gave zero experience with a mk7 gti at a 1/4 mi track.

I have a pretty aggressively tuned stock IS20 DSG and my best runs in Mexico have been while shifting at around 6300rpm 2-3 and ~6k rpm 3-4. 4th gear pulls nicely.

Yeah no, i'm specifically referencing his 3-4 on the night run. Seth is on the maestro forum I am a moderator in, we spoke after his runs.
Either way, he gained 2mph from slightly better DA and shifting 2-300rpm sooner (~5800rpm).
And he probably would have trapped slower in that run in the video too. It's entertaining to watch you argue about how to drive fast is20 cars with people who have fast is20 cars.

Wasnt trying to argue with him. Hes a good guy on the forum. Do not try to mix my attentions. To be honest, you usually come off as a fairly opinionated person on the forums, from what I can tell. I try to be respectful on here, and im no race expert by any means. Im just a ex army door kicker. Weapon platforms,bodybuilding,mix martial arts is my subject latter in real life.
I learn something new everyday. Sometimes here on the forums. Im human like anyone else.
Thank you Wy2sl0

You can calculate your optimum shift points relatively easily. I''l probably do that once I go big turbo.

The tune and the transmission will affect this significantly. The M6 is geared closer so you can shift it lower without the revs dropping as much as the DSG cars.
Also tunes with higher boost levels (more TQ tapering off up top) might benefit from shorter shifts.
With the DSG and only 21.5psi peak, i have to rev it higher.
Exactly.
Even a shitty 2.0 60' should put that thing deep into the 12s if you get it moving efficiently in the first 1/8th.
There used to be a great website for it, where you could input your dyno #s at various points and all your gear ratios, and it would calculate it.
I looked for it awhile ago and couldn't find it.

Just want to note I've pulled best strip times by shifting before redline. On non hybrid mk7 systems, most of the torque is a hit and scream type attitude. As in, baam and then a diminishing hold. This is conducive to 5.4 maybe 5.5k shifts instead of blowing past that redline. Watch a flash tuned car on the dyno... They drop power FAST .
