When racing, what RPM do you shift at?
The auto vs manual thread got me thinking (I almost hurt myself), at what RPM do y'all shift the new 5.0's at when racing?
Redline is 7000?? I would think 6500 for a stock car like mine, but maybe i'm wrong.

It's taking me some getting used to going over 5500 lol
I had a '99 cobra for awhile but apparently didn't have it long enough to get used to higher rpm shifts :/

LOL, I can relate Bert coming from Foxes as well. I've had my car longer than you have and I'm still getting used to twisting the motor to 7k. I keep expecting it to BOOM BITCH like a fox would have!
I've had a mod motor with my wife's Mach since 03, but that car has never been driven hard at all. I seriously doubt it's ever seen 6k let alone 7krpm. haha.

Stock intake: around 6800-7000 is where I typically try.
Boss IM everyone says 7500-7700

Anyone shifting a stock GT motor at 7500 on the stock valvetrain/oil pump gears for any length of time is just asking for trouble and will eventually end up blowing a motor.

8K on motor and 7200 on nitrous.

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

Brent has been flirting with danger for quite some time now, and all is well so far...

Something else i'm STILL having to get used to is the damn speedo and tach being flipped flopped. Little things like this aggravate the shit out of me.
