I am just curious where to be shifting and what our powerband is?

I do a lot of Highway runs and some dig racing. I will be doing a highway run against a 2.4 Cobalt 2009 with CAI his is an auto.
So, I would like to know
What Gear to start in at what RPM?
When to shift?

This is for tomorrow night so need something ASAP
Thanks

Youre pretty much just going to have to feel how your car wants to be driven. Our cars usually launch good around 3.5k to 4k on the track. I shift at 7k (stock redline) and no lift off the gas during the 1-2 shift. Just a quick clutch and throw into second. Just that alone took about .5 off my track time. Spend a full day racing at the track and you should know what your car likes.

Like mentioned before keep it off the streets. And your not racing a 2.4 2009 Cobalt because they dropped the 2.4 for the 09 models. And even the 2.2 come with more base power and torque than your eclipse so you'll get the ugly end of the stick(at the track of course)

well Yes it is a 2.4 when nobody is on the highway i really don't care i am not going fast enough to hurt anyone, who isn't on the road. I am a big advocate for racing at the strip but if i wanna do a little run on the road than i will. I am not dumb and do when there are cars around. Everyone CALM THE F*** DOWN.

The car beat me by about 2 car lengths.
