I got a 1994 Mustang GT 5 speed with bbk shorttube headers and i was just wondering what would be the best rpm to shift the car at.

you will have to play arond with it to find out where you cna shift at every car is different

Start at 5K and experiment from there...all depends on your gears too...

I've found with my 5.0 the best shiftpoints are anywhere from 5,500 to 5,800 rpms.

Adyno graph would be the best way to pick shift points. Too bad they cost.

agreed

You want to shift at a point that will take the RPM's down to your peak tourque level when you go to accelerate in the next gear. Any higher of a shift is a waste of gas, a loss of power and just plain abuse for your engine.

I have a 94 5.0 with bbk shortys o/r h pipe flowmasters and i shift normal 2400 racing 5600-5800 but i also have the 4.10s in it so that might be a pretty big differance but in to second it feels like im bout to pull a wheelie!!
