For M6 guys

Is 5500rpm too low of a shiftpoint for best et's. What do most of you guys shift at with just the usual bolt ons.

Re: For M6 guys

I have stock rev limiter settings and shift at 5900 and keep off the limiter. This is with the help of a Harlan shift light. If you dont have one ide get one. Best 50 bucks ive spent.

Thanks Dave <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Run it up to 6K or so. I've got my light at 5800 to catch 1st and 2nd gear, then i wait a bit after the light in 3rd and 4th.

Right to red line for me <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

Re: For M6 guys

I launch at 3400,short shift 1st at 5600 on our slow tach, and 6100 the rest of the way.It is higher rpms than it shoes mostlikely.
When I short shift 1st I have no wheel spin and the car just tears from then on out.

Re: For M6 guys

My shift light is also set to 5800. But Atap tells me that even though I shift when the light comes on in first gear the rpms still hit between 6150-6197 area. In 2 and 3rd gears I don't use the shift light, I speed shift when my Autometer tach reads 6000.
