Yet another nube question from me.

I'm going to the track for the first time tomorrow in my 98WS6.
Where do you all shift at in your manual? I have been shifting
at the factory redlined 6k, but I remember in my Mustang that
the redline doesn't always mean thats the best place to shift.

Any suggestions?

 

I like to save my engine the extra wear, so I go around 5k-5500. Depends really though. If i need to go all out and be hella serious, I'll take it to redline.

 

your peak horsepower in a stock ls1 is like 5300 rpms

 

shift at 6k....

thats when you'll see your best times

 

werd.

for daily drivin, 1-3-5-6, and have it in 6 by 60mph (with a 3.73 rear)

 

I shift mine at 6800, but mine isn't stock.

 

In a stock head cam ls1 there is no need to shift higher than 6K.

 

Same here but that will change once I start spraying the 150 and 200 shot

 

If I remember right my shift light goes off at 5800

 

Isnt redline 6200? I dunno but I think my tachs a tad slow I have to shift at 6000 or im bouncin off the limiter.

 

I think peak power on our stock cam is from 5200-5600 or was it 5800 RPMs, I shift at about 6000 at the dragstrip and when I race. It pulls nice and strong till about 5800/6000 or so. I dont let it hit stock redline though (6200)
