My 98 gt relines at 6200 rpms i think..what should i shift at when im racing? past redline or before??

 

Where is your most power? I would think around redline, but I dont know when your GT would start losing power.

 

is it safe to take it past redline to find the power band?

 

Thats not fair, my 01GT redlines at like 5700. And nice 1/4mile time for a non-pi stang with a few bolt ons. However your shifting, it must be working with your time.

 

i really woundnt go much further than 6grand, but i am pretty sure with a non pi motor with stock valve springs etc your gonna get some valve float above 6 grand

 

If your car is a stock non-PI GT, your car will not make any power at 6,000 rpms. My automatic '98 GT shifts into the next gear at about 5,500 rpms stock. If I was u I wouldn't take it much farther than 5,000 rpms cus that is right about where you make your peak power.

 

My 96' gt loses power at redline, i hardly ever rev past maybe 5,800 rpms. It feels like i lose power after 5,700ish.

 

i try not to go above 6000, but its hard when the tires are spinning and im trying hookup

 

i think peak is at 5500 to 5700

 

I think this is correct as well.
