richard Member 83 Member For: 16y 6m 9d Gender: Male Location: Ipswich QLD Posted 02/02/09 05:34 AM Share Posted 02/02/09 05:34 AM hey fellas, I'm finally heading out to willowbank on wendsday and just want to know if I should shift manually at 5000 or just keep her in perf mode. Which is faster. I have 270rwkw and it is a 2003 ba standard auto. Any advanced info will save me stuffing around testing and comparing shift mode times. Cheers.

I'll be out there too on wednesday. so come say hi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spinifex Guests Posted 02/02/09 08:04 AM Share Posted 02/02/09 08:04 AM Use the above advice and see where it takes you.. There is some bit of delay between moving the shifter and the gears actually changing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only got hp and the afr readings on it. I'll just have to do a run shifting manually, wait for it to cool down and then try perf mode. See ya out there dude.
