1. Engine Telemetry

Specs

High-boost sleeper setup. Strong mid-to-high RPM surge. Loves sequential gear spacing.

💡 JDM I6 Twin-Turbo: Strong mid-to-high RPM surge. Spreads shift drops evenly to avoid low-end lag.


Peak Power650 HP @ 7200 RPM
Peak Torque580 lb-ft @ 4800 RPM
Redline Threshold8200 RPM
Optimal Shift Band:48008200 RPM
0 RPMOptimal Power Zone10.5K RPM

2. Gearbox Optimization

💡 6-7 Speed: Standard street and track layout offering a balanced compromise of acceleration and top speed.

Final Drive multiplier3.73

💡 Final Drive: Adjusts the master differential ratio. Higher values (e.g. 4.50) increase acceleration but lower top speed; lower values (e.g. 2.70) increase top speed potential.

Tire Outer Diameter26.5 in

💡 Tire Diameter: Taller tires stretch gear ratios (acting like a lower Final Drive), increasing potential top speed but slowing RPM climb rates.

ℹ️

Tuner Insight:Ensure that each sequential upshift lands your engine above 4800 RPM (your peak torque point). If an upshift drops you below this threshold, it leads to a loss of momentum ("bogging"). Push your individual gear ratio slider to the right (higher value) to shorten the gear and increase the shift recovery RPM.

4. Telemetry Telefax

Shift Alignment Index81/100
Measures how close upshifts match engine peak torque output.
1st Gear Traction RatingCRITICAL WHEELSPIN
Based on final drive torque multiplier. Keep torque output below 2400 for maximum launch efficiency.
Aerodynamic Limit (Cd = 0.34)191 mph

Based on your 650 HP output, aerodynamic drag will cap your actual top speed to approximately 191 mph on a level surface, even if your gearing layout theoretially goes higher.
