Default WOT shift points on LT4 Hotcam kit?

Hey I just got tuner cat and have been playing around, i dont even know how to do anything much yet other than log, change WOT shifts, and Stall lockup.

I was wondering how high I can safely rev my motor.

Mods are in sig, I just up'd my shift points from

1-5900
2-5900
3-5850

TO

1-6000
2-6000
3-6000

It seems to pull alot better, I just dont want to over-rev it.

I ran a log and it is shifting at 6375 MAX at the motor during WOT.

Thanks and I hope to learn alot more about the software!! I would post my run on here but I dont have much access on the laptop since i just picked it up today and am still messing around with stuff.

Jay

OK, if you went to get the most out of your engine, and if you have a healthy one too I would spin the hot cam all the way to 6500, with your setup, you will have a big smile on your face after that.

I asked the same Question about a year back on this forum and I got an answer from a very well known tuner recommending that I do as I mentioned above, the results were great.

Good luck.

I would have to agree on spinning the motor to 6400 range, if the motor is solid. I will also say that I turn my pure bolt-on LT1 WS6 car to 6200 first, second about 6100, third 5900/6100 depending on how it feels. This seems to work great with a bolt-on LT1 car with no internal mods other than upgrading the springs to LT-4 and 1.6 CC roller rockers. If I push the car any further than 6200 it falls flat on its face My 4:11's may have something to do with being able to wrap to 6200 in first, all I know is my car likes it !
