I've been wondering on the manual whether downshifting would help bump the RPMs up a bit to keep it in DFCO mode longer, but since I don't have a tach () I can't really tell. Anybody with a tach and the stock 15" wheels have any idea what speed 1000 RPM is in each gear?

Besides, I don't like using my expensive clutch to slow down, so I probably wouldn't do it anyhow.
