I have at 5.0 with heads, cam, intake...basically all the mods minus a power-adder on a stock 302 block and 3.73s.

Here is dyno sheet from LG.

I can't see your dyno chart, but if I remember correctly, your mods are similar to mine. I'm guessing peak power is around 5,500 rpm, so I'd try playing with different shift points between 5,500-5,800rpm.

Yes, almost identical mods. I will give it a shot tomorrow if the weather clears. <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0">
