I would like to know if anyone has a shift light, since supercharging my sling it revs pretty fast and I would like an indicator to help with shifting. summit and jags both have a lot to choose from. any help would welcome.
Shift light
-
Welcome to the forum HB45 ! I don't have your answer but wanted to say hello. Personally, I don't think that I would choose to be looking at the dash when running hot but rather use sound and feel to choose shift points. Red line is where it is and I've gotten used to the engine sound and pull of the engine when approaching it. If you bounce off the rev limiter you know you were a little late!

I just shift when the tire stops squealing. But then it starts all over again
-
i thought with a good light I would not have to take my eyes off the road. i do try and use the sound but as I get older my reaction time is not as good so any help is good
You do have another option, don't press the accelerator that damn hard!

What fun is that? Burn out and drag racing are a necessity of living
rabtech always comes to rallies with at least one rear tire mounted and ready to put on his ride. He just like to 'burn out' once in a while.

You wonder if they can track you?

We just need to do one in Maggie Valley and make sure we get the audio.

I just found out I was running a little to low air pressure in my rear tire. The center was not wearing enough.

You have already did this twice that I know of. Are you just trying to impress someone else! Are you in brain fade

Sounds like you've already SC'd your ride. What Boost/AFR gauge(s) are you using as some like the Innovate SCG-1 or PSB-1 have a built-in shift light. I believe AEM offers similar functionality i some of their products.
If you don't have a Boost or AFR or combo gauge, while they aren't as necessary on a SC system compared to a TC system, I'd recommend one of the combo AFR/Boost gauges and if you want a shift light, I'd look for a setup that includes that capability.
Looking at the stand-alone shift light units, none of the less expensive units seems to have decent reviews, so it might make sense to go with a name brand all-in-one gauge to get reliable functionality. I'd also recommend going with a unit that offers a data-logging capability since that can be a great help if you ever run into fueling problems. Now that I've written that, I must mention that my Innovate SCG-1 AFR/Boost gauge seems to have developed a short in the sensor cabling since the AFR reading sometimes freezes or doesn't display, even though the Boost display has continued to work.

No.... I just need to get one good video with sound.
I wonder if the black mark is still in Maggie Valley ?
-
I have always went off the sound. After a while you will know just by the sound of the exhaust when to shift. Anyway it works for me

The 2020 models are going to have a Please Wait light right next to the service light. Could double as a shifter light I suppose.
