Does Upshifting increase or decrease RPM?

659 views

I’ve seen websites that say “Lower Gears in Cars means more power”, Which is what I’m guessing, means more rpm, but then I see other people say that if you increase the gear, then it makes the rpm higher… Which one is it?

Both.
When you shift up gears your rpm drops and you starting gaining higher rpm again until you need to shift into the next gear .

Then then you shift ,rpm drop and start to build as you accelerate again
