I think our cars would have been a whole lot better with 3.73 gears!!
2cokeman....I see in your signature that you have 560hp and torque...first is that RWHP or crank..and how did you achieve that....with just a tune...or a CAI and tune....let me know whose tune and what CAi if you dont mind

I set mine at 6000 rpm and haven't hit the limiter yet. Of course now that I have the 93 Octane tune from VMP my limiter is set at 6500 rpm.

Justin at VMP Tuning says that 6500 rpm is the safe limit, but I still shift mine at 6,000 rpm. 6,000 is the highest that you can set the shift tone and light, but at least I don't have to worry about bouncing off the limiter if I am not quite quick enough on the shift since my limiter is set at 6,500.

Our cars don't make anymore power past 6000 rpm anyway.
