Im hoping the Colonel will chime in. I just ordered the StealthII and valve train upgrade for a buddy. 02 Firehawk M6 with all the boltons. Stock heads. Question, what would be the ideal shift point for this combo? 6400? Any input would be appreciated!

I might be wrong but I think in one of Colonel`s posts he said he had it shifting at 6700. You can do a search for the stealth cam and see if you can find it. Hope that helps

With that LSA, probably as high as you're willing to take it. (within reason of course)

Appreciate the quick response. Do you think the stock heads are good to 6700?

NastySSoo

Anyone else?

Colonel

Keep in mind that I have MTI stage II LS6 heads but I've found that shifting my Stealth II anywhere between 6600-6750 works best. This is with an SS4000 converter which has a shift extension of roughly 5300-5400 in this application. If a converter with a higher shift extension was used, spinning it up this tight would be of slightly less importance.

The car in question is a 6 speed.

All else being equal, you'de need to shift a little on the high side for best results. RPM drop between gears is killer with a manual as compared to a high stalled A4.

Experiment, start at 6400 and work you way up 50-100 RPM at a time (a shift light would be suggested.) When it goes slower, back off a notch.

Thanks Colonel, good sound advice!
