OK...let's say you are at a stop sign, turning onto a busy highway, and you want to accelerate quickly. You are not racing, but you do not want the ******* (in this case) driving the Ford F-150 you pulled out in front of to run up your ass...and he will if you let him. My question is: given that typical scenario, at what RPM do you shift out of first gear? This is not a race...let's say the situation calls for "above-average" acceleration.
Is it better to shift earlier into second, or, better to wind out into the higher RPM's before you shift into second? Where is the most efficient point - creating the fastest speed - to shift?
Should I ask it another way? :lol
