At 1:09 you say "I finally learned the secret to unlocking the full potential using paddle shifters" But on my end immediately after you said "using" the theme song to O'Reilly's Auto parts started to play. I swear it was a seamless transition and i legitimately thought I was getting punked
@Modern Muscle - learned some things however, coming from a professional advertising photographer, waaay too much dead air as we call it. Just watching you continue driving around with no talk isn't the best use of our time. Also, tweak the camera angle. Too much roof. The picture in picture was the best part of the video. With these improvements, in my opinion, your videos will be MUCH better! Thanks for the lesson.
Too technical... that 8 speed is a great tool for keeping the engine in its peak horsepower and torque bands. From a couple of stock dyno results posted I’d suggest you play with shifting at peak HP RPM and not at redline. The reason i suggest this is it appears the 5.7 makes peak HP right where the engine torque drops off. If you shift at that rpm the upshift will be in the fat part of the torque curve. If you shift at redline your engine HP has dropped and torque has taken a dive as well. Depending on your gearing your engine rpm may not drop back into the sweat spot to take full advantage of available torque or HP. Of course this is all dependent on your trans ratios. Look at a dyno graph. Fuel cut off come 700-900 rpm past your peak numbers. If your trans ratios are close there may not be any benefit in winding out to redline or bumping the rev limiter.
Ahaha when I first got my civic hatch sport I remember accidentally pressing the downshift on my paddles (this was when I first got my car and drivers license) and I all of the sudden my car revs and I was WTF DID I DO LMAO
Put the car in sport mode without using manual take off hard.... Look at the rpms to tell where the car itself will do it. Usually the car is correct in where it gets it's power. So mimic the cpu when you have it in Manual sport mode.
You shouldn’t be downshifting to first when you are going over 25 mph you will blow your engine going to your red line in your rpm it’s risky and most likely going to blow your engine one of these days if you continue to do that, you just need you get your 1st to 2nd gear at about 4000-5000 rpm for a good take of and you will feel that speed the same if you hit every gear shift perfect
R/T Life Thanks, I used the GoPro head strap! I got a ton of weird looks from people on the road driving around with it, but it's such a time saver for POV shots!
No true. In my ‘14 it does the same. However if you’re in sport mode the computer will not let you over rev, but it will not shift for you unlike normal mode.
Nice videos man, I've been studying them trying to learn. I have a 2016 charger rt. My question is, if I want to make my car jerk back then zoom off using the down shifting to upshifting method, does it only work between 30-50mph and not higher mph such as 80-90?
Exactly that’s why Manuel mode used the cars hp more because you get to control the rpm’s pushing to a higher number causing more torque compared to the automatic which shifts to keep the rpm lower
I’d downshift around 3.5K or less. Most cars will prevent you from downshifting if the rpms go through redline. But I’d find the sweet spot by experimenting in a parking lot.
Venom Hemi you would want to enable sport mode actually because you're going to be able to get to higher rpm before your car shifts itself. Higher revs=more power
Make a video that shows what not to do with the paddle shifters

In first gear the car takes off fast when taking off from a stop unless it depends on the car
The paddle shifters add fun factor, but I’d imagine letting the car shift itself will give better times than shifting yourself.

Great advice! Thanks 🙏
Ahaha when I first got my civic hatch sport I remember accidentally pressing the downshift on my paddles (this was when I first got my car and drivers license) and I all of the sudden my car revs and I was WTF DID I DO LMAO
😂😂😂
Yo same that’s why I’m here lmao!
Same lmao
As the taxi the grandma and the soccer mom passed him up lmao
You catch every red light. 😂 Come to Texas there are open roads everywhere.
+Papa Yeet yeah driving in LA there's traffic everywhere. 😭
NY & LA to places it really sucks to have one of these Hemis, but we make it work!
not in Houston lol

Papa Yeet so true 😂
Put the car in sport mode without using manual take off hard.... Look at the rpms to tell where the car itself will do it. Usually the car is correct in where it gets it's power. So mimic the cpu when you have it in Manual sport mode.
Then wats the point of sport mode?
@@lilsamreactions507 if you don't wanna do it manually? Thought that was self explanatory
Paddle shifters don't just come in the car installed to begin with?
not on the lower end models of the car
Anyone else hear bad ticking for downshifting with paddle shifters , over time I noticed it more
You shouldn’t be downshifting to first when you are going over 25 mph you will blow your engine going to your red line in your rpm it’s risky and most likely going to blow your engine one of these days if you continue to do that, you just need you get your 1st to 2nd gear at about 4000-5000 rpm for a good take of and you will feel that speed the same if you hit every gear shift perfect
Question
So when I’m breaking and I and I wanna stop I just downshift right when I’m losing my speed correct ?
I just don’t wanna fuck my engine
@@DailyDoseofShortsVideos Just listen to your engine. Downshift when you're around 1.5 or 1 RPM.
I thought with the paddle shifter the computer won’t let u damage anything ?
@@alexander_3923it won’t. it’s still an automatic, once it reaches the redline it’ll automatically upshift or down shift itself to prevent damage.
Nice video man, this is a pretty cool camera angle you have going here.
R/T Life Thanks, I used the GoPro head strap! I got a ton of weird looks from people on the road driving around with it, but it's such a time saver for POV shots!
hahaha dude everyone thinks I'm nuts on my block but I don't give a crap. Always filming in my car or in the front etc.
starts at 2:06
👍 thx
After you downshift and you floor it, do you then up shift to continue driving or what next?
M O Yes. But most likely the computer will tell the car to upshift anyway when you hit the limiter.
No true. In my ‘14 it does the same. However if you’re in sport mode the computer will not let you over rev, but it will not shift for you unlike normal mode.
I tried this in sport mode and I was ready to up shift but waited it did shift on its own
It work! my new vios become monster after using this technique🤣
Set playback 1.5x speed
Racing In mexico.. 🤣🤣🤘🏽
That’s code for racing in the US
Nice videos man, I've been studying them trying to learn. I have a 2016 charger rt. My question is, if I want to make my car jerk back then zoom off using the down shifting to upshifting method, does it only work between 30-50mph and not higher mph such as 80-90?
+phardy94 Thanks! yeah it usually only works in 1st or 2nd gear.
You can downshift to any gear you want, just watch your revs. If they're too high you'll blow your motor
Why did you have to use a Honda Civic as a slow car example? I'm pretty sure the type R can spank your car around the Nurburgring
Lol and I just got a 2021 civic sport...made me sad to hear but fuck it I'm ricin anyway 😂
Thanks so much for the video!!! 😍
So when downshifting with the paddle shifters then gunning it the transmission will automatically upshift on its own? Or do you got to manually do it?
It’ll do it on it’s on if u mess up it’s like a safety feature so u won’t redlinen blow nun up it’ll automatically go back to manual
@@lilsamreactions507 Nope, my 2012 won't! Tried it a few times last week racing...
@@bayarea5.7 yea it depends on ur car I have a newer model dodge and it won’t let me max it out it’ll stop at 6 and go down
Chat plz help me should I go for a GT over SXT for the paddle shifter upgrade. Is it worth the extra 4 5k?
Is it okay to downshift while accelerating aggressively?
That’s what I’m trying to figure out to
Just make sure you don’t go over the red for too long
a slow honda civic lol :) good one! thumbs up
"Downshift and make use not to touch the Redline" It took you 10 minutes to say that?
So when you increased speed did you press the plus paddle on the right I assume or? I’m so confused
You want to upshift ( the right paddle ) when you hit 5 RPM or higher.
I used paddle shift I unlock more hp and torque
Talk about over complicating a common sense topic. My god man
Right I'm no pro at all and Idrive with my paddle shifters with common sense he made it seem hard 🤣
Pass a slow Honda Civic . The headshots r real 🤣🤣🤣
What kinda of exhaust is on this challenger?
But doesn't the automatic transmission rob the engine of greater HP when compared to a manual? It might shift faster, but less available power.
Exactly that’s why Manuel mode used the cars hp more because you get to control the rpm’s pushing to a higher number causing more torque compared to the automatic which shifts to keep the rpm lower
can someone tell me how do i know when to downshift? i dont want to downshift too early or too late
I’d downshift around 3.5K or less. Most cars will prevent you from downshifting if the rpms go through redline. But I’d find the sweet spot by experimenting in a parking lot.
@@tr4ptamine thank you
@@tr4ptamine yea mine didn't lol heard my transmission go eeeeeerrrrr
So what's the point of sport mode then
I still dont know, I guess something to do with shift points?
Sport mode tightens your suspension and stretch your gears making your shifts a little longer
@@estbangersc22 Oh, sooo wait, if Im tuned for higher shifts... maybe I should not hit sport mode at the drag strip then?
Venom Hemi you would want to enable sport mode actually because you're going to be able to get to higher rpm before your car shifts itself. Higher revs=more power
How do you shift from 3rd to R ( race mode)
dont have to i have a real stick shift 2014 dodge challenger rt rev it up to 5100 rpm and then throw it into gear and hold on
Thanks for the tips but f u I like my 2023 civic things peppy AF😛
No science please... Give it to me straight...
