Car's horsepower and torque

[Keen]

let's say my car has a Max Power: 121bhp at 6,200rpm and Max Torque: 153Nm at 4,200rpm

 

so to make my car perform at it's best... at how much rpm should i drag at every gear change?

[Uzi68]

auto or manual?

[Silver_blade]

Can't tell with just the info your give. Need to also look at your car's gear ration, etc...

[Kelpie]

I thought this could be found in your owner manual?

 

Regards,

[Keen]

it is a auto car...

[Keen]

it's is a 4 gear auto...

[Keen]

hmmm... can't seem to find... maybe only for manual car...

[Kyojin]

if it's auto, let the car do the work! just stomp and go.

 

but if you are talking about stoplight, target the 4200 where you get peak torque. that's what pulls you.

[Keen]

haha... just curious about how the auto trans work... so u mean at every gear, i have to drag to 4200 rpm in order for the car to perform at it's best?

[Elfenstar]

Drag to close to your max bhp, that way when you upshift, you'll be in the powerband.

 

The whole idea is to maximise the average torque

[Keen]

does it means i drag to ard 6000rpm for every gear change?

[Elfenstar]

If you want max acceleration, yes.

[Keen]

ok... thanks!

stay within the max torque and max hp range. no point dragging more than max hp. change at 6200 and the rpm should drop nicely into the torque band, ready to rapidly increase rev once again to max power at 6200.
