Default Survey: Who Spins their 4L60e over 6400 rpm

Just wondering who uses shift points of 6400 or higher. Currently I use 6400 but was contemplating going higher to 6600 - 6800 depending on my motor changes.

Joel,

I used to spin my '98 Z-28 to 6600 all the time. I had 6800 rpm redline. Best ET was shifting at 6300 on 1-2 and 6500 on 2-3. Once I get the high rpm stuff sorted out with my current car, I will raise shift points accordingly.

Currently shifting at 6500 on the stocker. May go higher. With your built tranny, you should be fine.

I used to shift mine at around 6900. It was too inconsistant though. I never could get it to shift at the same RPM twice in a row. Sometimes it'd end up being 6400 or sometimes 7200. Now I row 'em myself. <img src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" border="0">

I shifted at 6400 on the stock tranny and 6600 or so on the Yank tranny.

Go for it bro.

How long will that stock tranny last shifting around 6600-6700??

With heads/cam?
