What RPM do you set your upshift indicator?
Hey guys.
Silly question, but I was wondering what tmp do you set your upshift indicator?
I know that the default is at 7500 rpm, and I believe at one point I read that setting it at different RPMs could change the onboard computer and how it runs... Is this true? If so, how does the different RPMs change things.
I have a 07 Base coupe and wanted to know if this changed from the different years or trims? Or is it purely a cosmetic indicator with that cute little blinking red light. I usually just go by feel with the manual usually shifting around 3000 RPM normally and around 4500 RPM to hear the sweetspot with the intake, but the setting is usually 7500 RPM
Thanks Again

Totally with blue350zed, adjusting the rpm's at which the light comes on has no effect at all on the performance of the car. I don't see the point of it anyway, its too bloody small and if you're driving in bright sunshine you can't even see it. For it to be of any use it needs to be a lot bigger, brighter and in your line of sight.

400 RPM under redline so I have a little time to react. I don't use it often but once in a while it reminds me I'm getting up in revs. I don't drive my 350 too often so it helps on occasion. Wish all my stick shift cars had this.

I'm the same way.
I have it a few hundred over rev limiter so it starts to blink like 200rpm before it rev limits. I never really push it that far so I never see it.
