Default A4 guys with a G5X-3 shift points?

Not sure if I should post this here on in the Auto Tranny section, Mods feel free to move if need be. Where do you guys have your shift points set at with the G5X-3, in you A4's? Looking for best track results!

Get on the dyno and see where you make peak power. This would help us give you a better numbers.

My HP curve is a flat 440rwhp from 6100 to 6600 where we ended the run. I'm running a 3.73 gear with a PYE 3600 stall...Any suggestion on where I should set my shift points?

If your on a stock bottom end for safety set the rev limiter at 7000 and shift that bad boy at 6800 rpm. If you have arp rod bolts and your valvetrain can handle it shift her at 7000rpm with a 7200 rev limit since your still making peak power at 6600 per your post!

I will be spraying it in the future. I plan on a 50 shot out of the hole, then progressive controlled up to a 125. I'll try the settings you suggested. I don't have ARP bolts just GM crap. I was thinking about rev limit at 6900 and shifting around 6650. Any more suggestions, on where to set my shift points in my A4?

I'd try something like 6900-7000 rev limit and 6700 shift point...
