4800 rpms

i never bring it past 4500 myself but im stock and well IMO thats right where its meant to be shifted

the delay will actually bring the car to 4800 rpms before it shifts anyway

If your car has stock cam/intake then that makes sense.

You're cam only makes power to 4800 if you're stock.

My motor is supposed to be stock (although I have my doubts), yet it still pulls hard right through 6k. Does that make any sense? I should mention that my idle is a bit choppy too.
