Best Shift Points for a 94 GT!!??

[Joes95GT]

You did better than I did stock... I ran a 15.2 at 90mph with a 2.3 60'. It took me a lot of parts to get into the 14's!!!

If you were driving my car way back when, you would have done better than I did too. I barely knew what I was doing - it was all the car. Remember, these runs were made at Cecil on a Saturday morning. You know how sticky it is there on Saturdays. It was also early spring, and I had brand new Michelin Pilots (less than ~250 miles on them).

I want my Dad to drive my car now and see what numbers it turns. If we had a race to see who could get into the 11's first, he'd be there and I'd still be running 13's. I tried to get him to take the first pass (the one that I broke on) but he said "he's done with racing." I kinda wished he did break my car because he would have felt bad and fixed it by now...

WoW thats some low RPMS to be shifting at. My Cobra was shifting there to about 7 months ago so i had MAF cleaned and now i shift at 5800-5900 rpms and it helps out alot...

The Cobra's are a way diff story. Even with the smaller cam the heads and intake really allow those engines to pull higher. 58-5900 still seems pretty high. From what I've seen they should pull strong to 54-5500 which is still considerably higher than GT's do.

Hey joe, i'm sitting here reading through some posts and I noticed you were from delaware. So am I, what part are you from? I'm near newark/bear area.

Anyway, in my opinion from a lot of dynocharts in the magazines the 5.0s make their peak power around 5500rpm. I personally shift at 5200 or 5400. But I haven't got a chance to get to the track ever since I got my car, so I don't know how well my method works. Lol
