Well I was out tuning my timing tables.....and my shift light was coming on. I thought i would capture this for the disbelievers. Soooo as some of us already know....we have a shift light...now we need to find out how to control it. Sorry for the poor quality video....it/'s hard to drive and film.

I hear it comes on in nitrous mode(GM stage 3) and around 7500 rpm.

 

how are you shifting at like 7500??

 

I have a fully build motor

 

 

I have seen that many times on my 2.4... Who is saying they do't have one?

 

does it come on all the time? i know on the LSJ's they are a "hit and miss"
it's not that they don't have one ... it's the "I've never seen it" response.

 

When I am late for work I see it all the time..Right before it hits the rev. limiter

 

In the 2.2 and 2.4 they always come on for the gas mileage(must be 5speed)

On the 2.0, people need to rev the **** out of it to get it to come on.

 

yeah mine comes on at 6,300 right before the rev wall in my 2.4 so i dunno what ur talking about it comes on for gas mileage lol

 

I thought i saw one come on out of the corner of my eye once in a while

 

I used to always just get a glimse (sp). now it'll come on between 7300 and 8000 rpm almost everytime

 

WTF?! 8,000 rpms lol have u dynod ur car? i think ur over killing it. ur curve should drop off past 7500 lol do u have any charts?

 

is there any way you can get it to come on normally? ie redline a gear while driveing? ( not that id do it just seeing if theres a way to get it to come on )

 

also it took you 26 seconds to go from 40-130.. yikes.. Zzzzzzz

 

Mine hits at 6500-6750 RPM's & it illuminates to tell me to shift it now!

 

I know ....i think I'm going to up the boost a little.....I'm at 10 psi now but would like to see between 12-15 psi. Also My meth was turned off and I'm at 2200ft at 80*. I want to get a good tune before I mess with meth and boost again. I also hit a hill at a 100.

NE ways......I don't have any excusesd for being slow besided...being slow.

 

sorry just shocked lol seemed a little slower than my 2.4 .. but its cool man car sounds nice..

 

Sorry Chris you are way off on that one.
The phase 5 Cobalts with a 2.2 are running at 9,350rpms. I too will be set for a top 9,300ish rpm.

 

lol yes but you spent like 1,000,000 bucks im sure he didnt.

 

i have never seen mine come on. i dont think i have one

 

if it sees you are not at WOT it will come on in early RPM then towards the red zone RPM

It comes on for you to shift for better fuel economy. I personally take it close to the red area then shift when it comes on.

99% of the time I do not pay attention to it. I just shift around 3-5 range normal driving.

 

And we have a winner!

 

He shifted a hair before 8000. I think 7600-7800.

 

i have a 2.4 and i have never ever seen it come on, even when i redline, or even when i bounce the tach off the rev limiter....
