Raptor Performance in Concord, NC, designs and manufactures custom electronics for racing motorcycles and automobiles. The company’s products are not for hobbyists—these are professional-grade parts.
One of the company’s best-selling products is a dual-mode shift light. A shift light is a warning lamp for indicating to the driver that maximum engine speed has almost been reached. Ideally, the lamp will illuminate at the engine speed just beyond that which delivers the maximum brake horsepower, so that the horsepower before and after shifting is the same. A shift light allows the driver to judge the exact point that a gear change should be carried out without having to glance down at the tachometer. This maximizes acceleration while enabling the driver to keep his focus on the track.
