shift point:hotcam,m6,4.10s Well I'm wondering if someone has messed around at shifting different RPMS for getting the best time out of this setup. I set the shift light on the tach at 6200 yesterday, but I'm not sure its still pulling all that strong? Peak is what like 5800? I'm off to the track Saturday, just looking for some advice. It will be my first time with the new motor, I'm already shocked at how I can't just jump on the throttle in 2nd like I could with the stock motor.
Merv I'm sure you will probably read this, what were you shifting it at?

No, it was a mail order tune. I wish I had a graph to look at.
PNYKLRTA well pretty much I'm on shitty street tires(Riken Raptors). If I'm not careful after the 1-2 shift they easily go up in smoke(actually these Riken's have never actually smoked.
). Tons of wheel spin. It wasn't bad when I was just messing around with it yesterday, then I ran my friends S R T 4, and well even though I beat him I was freaked out by the possibility of oncoming traffic, so I buried it too soon, spinning a lot. Track on Saturday though, no stress and will have slips to compare.

Kinda unrelated to my original post, but this thing kinda runs like garbage at part throttle under 3.5k rpm or so. Any ideas? Anytime throttle is applied its happy, but at 25-45 mph in the lower rpm range its pretty damn rough.
