Best shift points for my car...What ya think?
Ok crackheads. Time to use your noggin. I'm trying to find the optimum shift points for my car before this sunday. I know u can't beat track testing but I'm gonna do that too. I normally shift at 7k every gear. So I'll post my dyno #'s to show where my powerband starts and stops. I'm really interested in seeing what Derek(stroked85) and Joe(TS #25) say. Everyone else is welcomed to add their input aswell. Well here is my big block #'s....

As I mentioned Saturday short shift the 2-3 shift or 3-4 shift and watch the m.p.h. change ! Sometimes the e.t. changes too depending upon the car.
Seeing how I am a old school push rod guy I will back down from guessing on the exact shift points.

I am always a fan of short shifting it early and then bring it out in 3rd.
I would say, launch it at your normal 7k being that seems to be working, then take it to 6700...then ride 3rd till 7k

though for me, you'd have to change it to 10 inches, and you'd have to change inches to millimeters, and you'd have to change 10 to 5 and you'd have to change dick to poor excuse for one.
