Say I wanna find the top speed in my ST. It's an automatic, so I don't have as many options for some things.. but after I'm in the highest 'gear', how high should I let the RPM's get before I slow down? Should I let it get so close as to redline, or 6000? Or something lower?

Is yours slow until the turbo spools up or is it fast from a stop?

with my old turbo, it lagged badly and for the first half of 1st gear it was slower than stock

but now, turbo spools in what seems like no time at all and after the shift into 2nd it torque steers to the left.

when i make a test pipe it should be even better!!
