RE: Shifting

depends, if im trying for fuel economy (yeah right [&:]) i shift at 2.5-3 if im just having fun, 3.5-4, and i normally dont take it above 5 anywhere else, stock 5.0s are notorious for ****ty top end power

RE: Shifting

2,500-3,500 when driving normally. When racing, last time at the track was 5,700, but now I shift it at 6,300. It may run faster if I shift at 6,500 or maybe higher, so I'll see next time at the track.
