Shift Points

[torq455]

According to my tach, my shift points are at 5500rpm. Stock. Should I go any higher once I get headers on? If so, how much higher? Or, is there no point revving past 5500rpm?

NO... you need cam, rockers, tune, springs, timing chain, Alot before you think about changing shift points.

there is no power to be had up there. leave them.

So, then why are your shift points stock...and you have a Intense PCM? That doesn't make sense to me...they should be set at either 5800 or 6K.

He probably chose to have the shift points left stock as an option.

5500 is stock?

I thought it was closer to 5800

I had them leave the stock shifts since I've heard there's no power over 5500. Thanks guys.

whatever your tach reads is always a couple hundred rpm over what the actual shift point is.
