Even at 450 - if you like to spin your car 7K+ - then you can't expect the car to stay together forever...

7k! I shift at 5800, mostly because the limiter is still at 6250 and my shifting is slowwwwwwww! I was shifting at 6100 at the track and hitting the rev limiter.

That's because your limiter is set there. You can set it for whatever you want. Mine is set at 7500...

BTW: Sutton shifts their S197 set-up at 8200!...[8D]

I don't have a custom tune, so I can't change it. That's ok though, because the only thing I'd change is the fan temps. 8200rpms is nucking futz! That must sound really sweet.

RE: 500 hp HO Whipple Destroys engines!!!!

Setting the fan temps activation lower is a good idea for the coming heat. I have mine all on as soon as the key is turned and stay on...

Just kidding about Sutton. Not really, the DO shift at 8200 but it sure ain't no 3V in that S197...[8D]

The high side for the 3V's IMO is 7200. I like around 6800 at the track now.
