Default SHIFTING

I couldn't find a satisfying answer in the search.......What RPM should a GT stick, STOCK with 3.55's shift into second gear at when you are trying to get the fastest quarter or in an all and all out race??[sm=feedback.gif]

6900! Damn! i was always curious to where they set it....i would just slowly try 100 more rpm at a time tell i got to 6500 which i thought was good enough....
Dose anyone actually shift that high?

just like there pulley set up, ford has a higher rpm that the car can take but they put it low and are over cautius. You will need a good tune so you dont lean out your fuel but yes i have gone that high.
