U DONT NEED TO SHIFT AT 6500

My new GTO has a very small cam
214-222 559-566 115+4...It was put in becuase I wanted a cam designed for shorties (standard split) that sounded stock but pulled hard to 6500 w/good lowend..

I shift it at 6300 w/the rev limiter set at 6500..
I will be adding either a blower or a good set of heads to my GTO over the winter....

I also had 2 versions of the TR224
It doesnt sound stock...

Selecting a cam that make peak power closer to 6000 is a smart move for long trans life and best power in an A4.
