When should I be shifting?
Take a look at the mods in my sig. I will have the ls6 manifold and a ported TB on very soon as well. With the mods I have NOW, when should i shift when racing? 6000 or so? Also should I shift a tad higher when I get the manifold and TB on? maybe 6100?

I have about the same mods as you (look in my sig) I have my shift light set to go off at 5,800, but dont shift till around 6,000-6,200. Any higher you probably wont be making anymore power to justify not shifting. I have my limiter at 6,400. I highly recomend a Raptor shift light, this was one of my favorite mods. I never look at the tach anymore
