have you seen dogma well dont do that. who cares what speed. shift when your rpms are in the shift range, to high no power to low lost time just go play with the car and figure it out. need to now what gears and mods, anywhere from 4500-5800 on most 5.0s. or 20-35 mph off the top of my head.

It isnt a matter of me doing it, I would if my car could start.. so mean while I was just woundering what it would nrmaly shift at so I could check (when my car is running) if I am getting top speed.
