Default 12.00 or Lower Shift Points

What shift points are 12.00 and lowered cars running for bolton cars and no h/c? I have my shift points set at 6300 for 1-2 shift and and 6300 for 2-3 shift. What is your timing?

My mail ordered tune gave me almost a tenth and one more tenth will put me right at 12.00 with full interior? Your assistance will be appreciated.

You can try to lower your shift points and you may run a little quicker. I did by lower mine by 100 rpms. I shift 1-2 at 6200 and 2-3 at 6100. My ET's improved by a tenth and picked up 1.5-2 mph.

Do you have skinnies up front ? I'm sure that will give you .2 tenths easy . I just ordered a set of draglites and BFG Drag Radials my SS . I'm hoping to see a 12.0's or 11.9's Good luck

Yes, I run skinnies up front-Goodyear-one of the lightest. I will lowered my rpm's by 100 increments and see what happens. I going from a 10 inch to a 9 inch tire (hossier) which is four pounds lighter than the MT ET's and maybe help a tab on the top end. I am getting closer and closer to the 12.00. Thanks for the reply.
