Default Question for people running the Thunder Cam and Stage 2 LS1 heads:

If you're running the cam that I have (114 LSA is ok too) with S2 Heads, at what rpm are you shifting?

I've got the stock rear with stock 3.42's and my tq. peaks at ~4900 with power peaking at ~6100.
I've got my rev-limiter at 6800 but I wanna know if shifting at 6600 or 6700 is too high. My power curve remains pretty flat from 5600 to 6600.

Thanks!

I shifted my TR224 at 6600. It was still pulling hard up to 6600 at the track and the dyno for me, great cam.

Dragon,
The shift points seem to be an opinion of some, but the way I figure out the shift points for a particular package is that I add 400-500 rpm passed my horsepower peak. You should have the car dyno tunned, then you can read on the numerical graph where your hp/tq peaks are.

Hope that helps.
Joe.
