What RPM do you shift at?
I'm guessing it's posibly because that Mustangs have good torque to come off the line and get ahead but afterwards many cars can catch up

Oop's didn't realize you had an auto...I see you have a tuner too, did you adjust your shift points?

Shift points are to low for a cammed Auto. Also a 3.73 is a poor gear for a cammed Auto.

What would you expect the shift points to be for a cammed auto JayC? Also what rear gear would you suggest for his setup?
