Im shifting at about 5600-5700rpm which it really shifts about a 100-150rpm higher. I think it looses to much power after 5800 to rev it past that, but it also drops down to 3000rpm in 2nd with the tall 2nd gear ratio.

I ran my best times shifting at 6000... 1-2 and 2-3... Before the Turbo...

Are you using HP Tuners?

I wouldnt worry about the speed,,, just use the RPM...

Unless you go to a shorter tire you can leave your MPH alone.. Ive always used RPM and not had any problems.

Me too.


I'm shifting at 5950 for both shifts. I think I'm going to do a cam/spring/push rod change just so I can spin it a little more. At 5950 the boost is building fast and I want it to build a little more.

just stick to rpm's, if you mess with speed and raise that too high you'll hit the rev limiter before it shift because it's trying to get to that speed before it shifts. Keep speed to stock, rpm's only IMO
