Ok, another newbe here. Here's my first of what I'm sure will be many questions. I've recently purchased a '98 Z28 A4. It only has a little over 52,000 miles on it. What's the "standard" shift point at WOT? Mine rev's to 6000 before it shifts into second gear. Is that normal? I don't want the bottom end to come apart on me.
I'm going to date myself here a bit, but this is the first "hotrod" that I've been able to afford sinse about 1984 (you know, wife, kids etc.). I was very much the old school car buff. I've owned more than my fair share of chevelles, GTOs, and such. My wife and I are finally in a place to "play" again!!! So any and all (good) advice will be appreciated!

I'm not sure about the shift point at WOT, but I know it shouldn't be hitting 6,000 before shifting.

Actually I have seen that before on some LS1's, but I don't think it's too common.

welcome to the site! mine shifts right at about 6k rpms under WOT also. I'm not worried about it.

sound about right, btw, your bottom end wont come appart at 6000rpm, trust me i know, im way past that and still in one piece.

dont worry, i have a 98 z28 A4 with 46000 mi and it shifts at 6000 under wide open throttle. As far as i know it was programmed to do that. You can change shift points by getting a handheld programmer. Dont worry about it too much, it dosent slow ya down as much as it seems.
