I shift 6k,6k, 5.5k but i have 4.10s. You want to drop your next shift into or around your peak torque. 3rd you can shift early because the 3 to 4 is a short shift (1.33 to 1.00).

I'd say try 5.7k, 5.7k, 5.5k

EDIT:
6050 is redline i believe.

ok, ill try that stangalator, thnx...

and i mounted it in my center a/c vent (drivers side)....ill take a picture later when i get home if u wanna see...downside is i need to pop the console to changed settings, which really isnt a big deal...bright side is u cant even tell its there until its lighting up, and the far right a/c vent for the passenger isnt quite as strong as it once was because of the obstructions...ill take some pictures so u see what i mean, has to do with where i ran the wires

5750 is redline. 6050 is the rev limiter.

On a relatively stock GT, power is on the way down after 5200 RPM... Shifting at redline is ok, I usually saw a slight improvement shifting at 5500 before my car was supercharged. Just go by the butt dyno
