shift points on 200 shot?
What is your combo? You may need to just move your rev limiter up. If it is just a bolt on car I would shift at 5800- 6000 depending on what it mph best at and if it has a camshaft then it depends on where it makes peak power.
It is a bolt on car but I have arp rod bolts in it. When I got the car tuned I thought that I made peek power at 6500. Now I am new at HP tuners. I got 6200 by looking in the trans tab. I thought I wAs shifting later. I will try to find out my red line. How do I move my rev limiter?
There is no way it made peak power @6500 with bolt ons. Maybe 5700- 5800 usually. If you have good valvesprings I might would experiment with shifting a little higher than 6000 in 100 rpm increments and see if it picks up any mph. Raise your rev limiter up to 6300 -6400 if you have good springs, if not I would probably leave it @6200 and experiment with shift points starting around 5900 and working up to what it likes best without hitting the limiter. Also make sure you set your window switch about 100 rpms lower than your rev limiter. You don't want to hit limiter with the nitrous flowing.
i have a custom cut cam. i have the numbers at the house but i did make peak power at 6500.ill post them after dinner. I beefed up my valve train. after doing some reading, i moved my shift speed to 40 for 1->2 and 70 2->3
i am commanding it to shift at 6200. this should get my shifts to 6500. i logged some pulls on lunch to get the data. ill post how this goes.

Ok. That is not a bolt on car then. That is considered a cam only car, which is cam change plus supporting bolt ons. Big difference in where it will make peak power. In that case you need to move you rev limiter up to say 6900- 7000 and experiment with shifting @ 6600 - 6800 on motor to see what it likes and I would probably experiment starting around 6200 on the kit and go up in 100 rpm increments til it falls off on mph. You still need to have your window switch shutting kit off 100 rpm lower than wherever you set rev limiter. Good luck with it.

Verdad Gallardo Means that as you move up in shift rpm you will reach a point where you will not gain any mph and then it will decrease. When it does this you have found what rpm your motor likes to be shifted at. This is given that traction is not an issue and all other conditions are consistent, ie. bottle pressure, cool down time, DA etc. Just a guess , but if your motor peaks at 6500 na then on the kit I would say that your sweet spot is going to be around that on the kit. You will just have to make some passes and keep things as consistent as you can and see. I would recommend NGK br7ef plugs gapped at .032 if you aren't using them already and bottle pressure 925-950 psi. If you don't have a bottle heater, get one.
I am using ngk tr7s, gapped at.030 and my bottle pressure has been at 1000. The thing that sucks is that I am stationed in the Alaska so all these pulls are done on the street. Thanks for the help. I'll let u know how it goes
the car shifted at 6900 and i was still gaining mph. i get my rev limiter to 7000. is it safer to spin it any faster than that? i still have stock rocker arms. other than that the valve train has been beefed up.
I thought you were going to dragstrip and testing. Knowing above info of course it will keep pulling but I wouldn't spin your stock bottom end that high on the kit. I would just shift at 6400-6500 and call it a day. That will more than likely be really close to where it needs to be considering your combo. I would set the rev limiter about 6800, window switch about 6600 and shift points 6400-6500.
