RE: shift point???
your not evening letting the car make full power. full power is at 4800 rpms and then goes flat to 5200 then drops off after that. yes 302s make torque but only 300 at 3k rpms[give or take a few] i would personally shift mine at 5500 for the fact that when you do shift rpms will drop and you dont want them too low or youll lose time. when you shift you want your rpms being in the power range. if you shift your 5.0 only at 4600 you will only run like a 15.

i never rev above 4600. i shift at around 4500 which is fine because 5.0s make a lot of torque so theres no need to shift so high.
