Shift Point Question During a drag race, what is the best RPM to shift at on a mostly stock LS1 M6 F-body. I have heard about 5,700 but wasn't sure. I have been known to shift a little early to avoid that damn rev limiter.

Put it on a dyno and see where you start to drop power and shift there with a shift light or aftermarket tach to be certain. Otherwise, shift by feel cause the stock tach is not very accurate.

Thanks for the tips, I knew I was shifting a little early. I want to get a monster tach and get the rev limiter removed with a tuner sometime soon.
