shift points

[petersonm]

Well I am in the home stretch! The motor is back and almost fully assembled and the trans @ jimmys trans. Motor, 20 over crank, 30 on the pistons, K1 rods, dimond pistons fully balanced. cam 212/214 TE61 turbo, 7.3 front mount intercooler fully ported heads 60# injectors. What should I set the shift point @. or should I wait to see how the boost responds? any suggestions on what to spin this thing up to? I think I was @ 43 to 4600 before. thanks in advace.

I would wait until you see how the motor runs with the current setup first. With that cam I would think something in the 5200-5300 rpm range would work nicely.

lots of trial and error is needed

Around 5500. I shift at 5800 and it goes to 5600+ at the end.
