We figured that it didn't need to shift because it already exerts the maximum force that any FIRST drivetrain can...we just figured we should add the fish so we can go faster. We haven't done speed/acceleration tests with the fishes running but with just the chips and the ratio it goes 50 feet in 6.3 seconds from a dead stop. I'm guessing that time will be cut down with the fishes because of the approximately 20-30% extra power the fish gives.
