Its all in the stock headed cam sticky at the top of the forum. With that cam you want to shift in the 6300-6400 range for maximum performance. I would go for 6300 and see how that works for you.

Yea you have alot on the table there. I raced my car once shifting it at 5700 with the cc503 and picked up 4 tenths when all I did was boost them to about 6100 which was still to low.

A good tuner instead of "Hyper-crap" (to quote you) can hook you up. You'll need all your info on the car, ie: cam specs, weight of the car, converter, gears, etc. He'll program the optimum shift points into the tune and you can just leave it in drive and mash it....

That is, unless you just want to stay with the Hypertech.

G/L with it.

yea 6300-6400 should be perfect. when i first got my car and wasnt used to it, i was shifting at 57 or 5800, and was pulling my friends 13.6 stock lt1 by like 1 carlength. i was embarassed as hell. looked up some info and saw where i should actually be shifting at and we re-raced.....he thought i was spraying. i pulled about 6 or 7 cars on him just by changing the rpms i was shifting at.
