Window Switch setting What do you guys set your window switch at? I see 3000rpm is a good starting point, but what stopping point on a 6spd Vette. The factory limiter is at 6000rpm, so should I set it right before it or on it?

Here's what I do, it's a Z06 so rpm's are a little higher. My upper ws shut off is 6400rpm, I shift at 6500rpm and limiter has been raised to 6800rpm. The reason shut off is before shift point is the fact that the stock tranny will last much longer if your not slamming 550/700lbs of torque through it on shift. The reason the limiter is up so high is the fact that, on a Z06 that has a lower 1st 2nd and 3rd, n2o will cause rpms to climb much quicker and your more likely to hit limiter on a regular basis (not good). I have my low point at 3000rpm.

Just keep your spraying ~200 rpm below your shift point and you'll be fine. As Robert mentioned, you don't want to spray through your shifts unless you have a drivetrain made to take it.
