Just curious what other owners are using as the shift point settings with 3.42 gears.
With stock cam & torque converter, I found that +2 for the 1-2 shift and +3 for the 2-3 shift gave me the best 1/4 ET & traps. If you are running a higher stall torque converter, then you may run better at different shift points. The best way to find out what is best for your setup would be to take the time and do some experimental track runs.
I had the best results leaving them +0 for all gears. Ths was with a stock cam. The stock shift points are fine. The car shifts by rpm instead of speed. The stock shift points are at 6000, 5900, 5900. The stock rev limiter is 6200 and that does not leave much to adjust with.
