I have my shift limiter set at 6900 and I shift right around 6800. TSP website says that the cam makes power up until 6400 RPM's Set your shiflight right at 6700 that way once you see the light you will shift right around 6800 I have my **** down and car runs great. Practice makes perfect when it comes down to getting your shifting down with the shift light.

I have not used the MS4 in my personal car but I shifted my MS3 at 6800. Rev limiter was 7000.

SS4Luck is right my stock fuel pump is not handling the ms4 at 6000 RPM's. I am in the process of Installing a New fuel Pump and Hot Wire Kit. Good Luck
