Shift Lights, Set At What Max RPM??

[jonszr1]

first ?is your motor mostly stk except headers . if it is i would set the shift light at 6500 . as i have found that to be the best rpm to create the fastest times at the strip . if you have or get ported inj housings and plenum you can raise it too 6800. if you are drag racing you might find as i have that short shifting first to second @6300 to iimprove ets 1.5-.2 tenths due to the fact you dont spin the tires like when you take it to 6800. chris was telling me you were wondering where you could get some mods done .porting of the inj housings and plenum are a good start . then i would suggest corey henderson. he did an excellent job on mine .his ph is 210 867 6286 . he could also do your heads ,if you either have someone who has knowledge of timming the cams after it is done

My engine is basically stock 'cept the headers and intake. I don't do drag racing but lots of trackdays instead. I'm not really keen to have the Top shift light on at max revs but 6500 sound sensible.
Is Corey in the UK? Sounds like a US number to me?
Thanks for the info anyhow...

yes it is a us phone number but i will bet if you called him and set it up with him he could do a fairly fast turn around for you he could even give you a prom to match what he has done porting wise . to give you an example of his porting excellance my car made 372rwhp before he ported my inj housings and plenum and after with his tunning made 409.9 wrhp a 38 hp increase . if you have a fax number i would be more than happy to send you a copy of the actuall dyno sheet for you to look at . i think your shift redline of 6300 to 6500 would promote a long and happy engine life . i do just love your car i will bet it is almost impossible to get out of . very nice job . i am am wishfull that one day i could do one for myself
