Shift points

[Turbo-Rich]

What RPM are you guys shifting at? I know the motor is supposed to make its peak HP @ 4,000 but what is the redline

Hello;

4800 rpms , I go though the traps at about 5200 rpms

Just a tad higher than Fred GB

I'm just a tad above Fred too, WOT 5400 rpm, 4800 rpm at 3/4 throttle. Have not seen WOT in a long time, need time off from work to fix the car. I'm poping/losing power at WOT when I boost over 10-11 psi.

Well maybe that will be my ticket in to the 12's

Fred are you still using a 350c trans ? If so that is more than likely the reason the shifts are a little diff. I want WE4's street/strip 200R4 plus his 911 torque converter, but I'm having other problems that I most fix first With his combo he said I should drop .5 off ET

 

[fc227]

Yes , I'm still using a Th350 , with a adjustable vacuum modulator. I can move my shift points up.

WOW Now don't I feel like a wuss. I haven't pushed either Buick over 4,500 LOL.

Rich, I'd keep it below 4500 unless you have some fresh 85+ lb valvesprings. Otherwise the old stockers will just float. GB
