Normally its low end the torque is high then dips during the middle section and goes up again on the high end
So SOHC stock around 3000rpm it will drop then picks up again around 4000rpm and goes up till max 5000rpm
Power will keep on go up till 6000rpm, linear
oh thanks. no wonder i usually feel my torquey powerband so narrow la.
usually i shift right after 3.5k because i thought the power is all the way downwards after that.
perhaps my exhaust mod changed that slightly (moving it upwards?) but i can still feel the drop, so i upshift.
when i pull to 5k is usually when i hantam the pedal, so dont really pay attention to engine feedback (going for the loud sound only

)
later when i drive will pay attention to what u have said, and see how is the powerband like. thanks!

Manual also choking, because I fail at balancing clutch and gas

clutch + gas nice to play
helps with jump starts at traffic lights and also at each gear change.
if u can control the clutch right before wheelspin, you'd get the max traction from ur tyres
but my engine cant wheelspin except for 1st gear only
anyway, maintaining the engine rpm at gear shifts alone is worth driving a MT
(but i understand la, in traffic jam no fun)
