Default Shift Points?

My peak hp on the dyno showed at 6800-6900.

Stock engine with the exception of the cam (232/236 .595/.601 114+4 LSA) and 918 springs.

700+ hp competition 4L60E tranny with a 4400 stall converter with 2.7str.

Where do you guys think my shift points should be?

I am not interested in doing that. I want consistency.

dont you think you are pushing th issue with the 918's? i would be very carefull spinning that thing 6800-7000 rpm's with the stock bottom and the 918's...other than that i would try them at 6500 and go from there and work your way up and see what your times are.

Advance the cam a little, making sure you still have enough room with IVC event. Cheaper than blowing an engine and will likely reduce your ETs. 6600 is plenty of shift point, unless you are a top loader.
