two threads in two subforums is called "cross-posting" and it's something "newbs" do hoping for quick answers for their questions.

Every stang,track,conditions in air,ects will be different.My GT always ran it's best shifting at 6200 rpm stock cammed.The best thing is to do is go out on a test and tune night,and learn what your GT likes.Play around with different rpms when shifting.Best way to learn what your GT likes.

5,600 seems to do me well. Runs out of steam after that and the 4.10's bring the RPM back up pretty quick.
