During normal driving my RPM's drop no more than 500 RPM from the shift point.

To other cars, it probably sounds like I stay in the same gear at the same RPM all the time

My motor is basically stock, with lid and catback, I am looking to swap out the stock cam, and get another dyno tune. I will ask him about raising my shift RPM up to 6200.

I agree with the shift point changes. On a stock CAM with an A4 you really do need to shift 1-2 as high as possible.
I Shift at 44MPH which generates a 6550RPM shift. 2-3 is a little less at around 6300RPM. The best time I can get with this combo is 13.00@108MPH.
I have a stock converter, 3.46 gears, my own HPTune, Exhaust, UD Pulley and CAI modifications on stock airbox. For a 1650kg Monaro (lard-***) that would leave a lot of bolt-on vettes embarrassed.

thanks alot for the info guys..with your setups how is street ability lets say on a 25 mph roll do you guys spin alot on downshift? also how does your cars shift at a wide open run because i was thinkin mine would shift alittle harder then it does but i guess with the converter it
softens the shift
