Shift Points Well I started tuning and realised how low my car has been shifting . For 1 I just tried using Datamaster to log a run and saw that my highest shift was 1 to 2 and it was only at 5,825 RPM's . I'm kind of curious what the LT1 is capable of shifting at stock and what area is best ? My cars an auto and I rose that shift by 2 MPH and it was that low so stock must have been even a little lower lol .... It just seems like that being my highest RPM is kind of low ....

Hmm .... Kind of makes sense . It is an auto Corvette and my tach does go to 6 . I thought that 6000 RPM's atleast would be safe without float . If that's the case where is the only weakness the springs ?

The Stock cam will drop power substantially after it's 5200rpm peak.[/QUOTE]
My car is running the stock cam and even on stock tune pulls higher than that and is pulling at its hardest in that range ....

Weird .... I looked at datamaster dyno graphs which I know aren't all that accurate but my HP continued to rise until past 5500 and torque leveled off some there . I guess Ill have to go to a real dyno sometime to see what really happens there . I just assumed that atleast the m6 guys would be pulling a little higher than that .
