Hi need advice before my next step of making a mod ,.. I've uploaded a picture for the Porsche 911 RSR 17

Could someone tell.if the 8500 rpm maximum setting for this car is all that is needed to maintain maximum speed and acceleration ?

Would i be right in thinking that as long you always apply 8500 rpms to this Porsche you'll always speed up quicker because your less likely to wheel spin or lose traction ? When changing through the lower gears ?.

Ive been trying to maintain 8500 rpms when accelerating but you can accelerate the rpms higher but it's difficult to always keep the accelerator on the 8500 rpm point between gear changes.

For instance if you just keep your foot on the brake and keep the car still and accelerate but don't make the car move, you'll notice that 8500 rpm point is just below full throttle. I'm hoping to make a mod I can adjust for each car. So the accelerator can't go beyond that point, or maybe I'm barking 😊

I'm not sure what you're asking. It is impossible to keep an engine at 8500rpm unless you have a transmission that allows for it, like a CVT.

The power band might also not be peaked at 8500rpm, and the engine may make more power at lower RPM.

The pic you posted just displays the cars rpms at a given speed, so for each of those gears you will be at X speed at 8500rpm.

If you lower the top speed (final drive ratio) your car will accelerate faster and have an "easier" time turning the wheels at the expense of top speed.

Throttle control It's something I'm working on at present, I really feal good force feed back through the wheel when I keep the throttle at only 30 percent for 1st gear then go up in inclines of 15 for each a additional gear so 45 percent for second 60 for 3rd an so fourth.

I have a big screen so I'm able to stick lines on the accelerator indicator on my screen to train,

But when i do it right I get really good acceleration through the gears and beat my lap times. But also I get really good feed back through the wheel, as in I actually feel the cars acceration through the wheel,
