This lead me to try and see in my car, I know many try to get best power and leave the tune on the edge (I am a culprit as well), which isn't harmful in street as you don't redline the engine too much, but at track, it is a different story.




Yup, in my case I shift earlier unless there is a turn coming or I am trying to have the hotlap of my life, let's say around 7200 my sweet spot (before the little drop in power felt between 7200-7500), and my limiter set at 7700 I think, but yeah the pressure drop will be more felt on high rpms.
