When I first got my car it was stock exept for 3.73's and i shifted it at 5500 and after that it fell on its face.
Now with my new 306 with H/C/I the power nails you at 3500 and pulls right to when I shift it at 6200.

I need to get the factory limiter removed cause its still pulling hard when I shift.

if any1 has an auto like me they know the powerband is hard to take advantage of

no1 around here races from a dig anyway so i keep it in 3rd at about 45-50mph @ 2200 rpm's and i floor it drops the car into 2nd and immediatly starts pulling from 3500 to 5000.

i scare the crap out of my passengers when i do that

shift before 5k because there is a like a mid-second lag and if ur foots still on the gas its really shifting at like 5200 or more
