Hmm.. actually it does in my head.. at least in theory it does, after all, looking at the speed vs rpm chart here, its obvious that as speed climbs, rev drops become more exaggerated. Naturally we won't see much difference on 8-9K rpm engines, but I think it should be quite apparent on an 11K spoon engine.


Edit.. I think i interpret it wrong, I think you're right that FD does not affect rev drop points, but rather how high the engine is revving that affects the rev drop points. Opps on my part... :P


Which reminds me of something, that on low speed shifts, the 3rd gear rev drop is only like 1K? So in a way, how high the rpm during the point of shifting affects how much rpm drop.

Chart for a Y21 g/box if the car has enough torque to actually push the gears up to those speeds.


Of course, this is theory, and in my head, I also think that drag co-efficiency (Cd) and momentum would play a part in affecting real life rev drop points, which is why as speed climbs, there are differences in theory and practical applications.


During off throttle/shifting time, does the car still accelerate due to momentum, or does it start to decrease speed due to drag?


Man, got my head in a bind there.
