Shift Points With 3.42's
My 3.42's are in and I'm taking it to the tuner this week to have him reset the speedo and shift points a little biut as I hit the limiter on the 2-3 shift now. My tuner probably will know this but I was wondering what most people here set the shift point mph at with 3.42's in an a4. My buddy just did 3.73s in his car and while it came to be calculated the car should shift at 68 at 6000rpms it was hitting the limiter at 6200 and the points had to be backed down to 64. Just looking for someone whos done it to possible save the tuner and I a small snag. Thanks Dan

gears were installed and tune everything seems to be good the wot shift points didnt have to be adjusted as they werent hitting the limiter at all. Just wondering obviously traction is now and issue and i cant seem to launch at all from a roll or dig without spinning. When this happens the car is only shifting at 5k-5500 rpms wot it did shift at 6k once when it got a good hook. Jw if this is typical of the autos when the tires start spinning my 2.73s would do it occasionaly when they would spin from a roll..
