Re: With a cam, pushrods and valve springs where do I shift? With the B1 cam, all the bolt ons, and stock heads, I shifted at 6500.

Re: With a cam, pushrods and valve springs where do I shift? Dyno and then see where you power drops off at.
Depends on the cam you have....you want to shift within the powerband. Some smaller cams 212/218 can stay within the rev limiter to shift at 5800

Alot of guys can shift at 6600 after programming w/ Hypertech programmer.

Re: With a cam, pushrods and valve springs where do I shift? With a hammer cam I'd say probably no less than 63/6400. More if you feel comfortable with spinning it that high.
I'll be shifting at 63/6400 with my upcoming B1. I know I should shift higher, but with more rpm comes more wear and more breakage.

Re: With a cam, pushrods and valve springs where do I shift? I spin my B1 cam to 6400rpms on the shift with the rev limiter set to 6600rpms. With the Hammer cam you should shift as high (6400 to 6500rpms). Have fun with it <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0">
