Best Shift Points
I was wondering what would be the best shift points while racing in a 2001 SVT Cobra.

Redline, then shift. I would think its around 5800 as in a GT but not sure.

Get your car dyno tuned and then look at what RPM range your max HP comes in at, and shift there.

Yes, the cobras redline at 7k, what's so surprising about that? They have a forged crank that let them go that high.

theres no point to go that high. power falls off before then.
