with a cam you should have a higher rev limit...say 6400

for anything below say 60mph...you could grab 2nd. under 90 or so grab 3rd

and remember you can run 4th pretty damn far.....its a fun gear.

it still amazes me to think that we have 3 or 4 passing gears....

i always tell people...it depends on how fast i want to get around someone.

i'll tell you one thing...dropping the hammer into 3rd gear going 45-50 is NASTY....i'd hate to be the guy next to me with his windows open when i fly by screaming through dual pipes!


it was even worse when i had straight pipes...no mufflers

for downshifting aggressively you should know how to REV MATCH. It saves your tranny and your clutch. Only proper way to downshift.

you can search you tube for REV MATCH.

Clutch, match RPMS & throw it in 3rd, dump the clutch and floor it.
