  • Are my shift points off?

    I have a 96 auto 3.8... 3.08 gears if it matters. I have complete exhaust and intake and most of igntion done so i dont know if that would make this off or not and i dont even know if it is off. When going from stop to wide open throttle my 1st-2nd shift is right at 5900-6000. More towards 6 i think. Is this right or is it shifting too high?

    Sounds a little high to me.

      Does anyone know what the average rpm is when it shifts into 2nd? I think 5900-6000 is a little high too. I hope to be getting my 3.42's soon and i will get texas speed to tune for that and get it to shift a little lower. But does anyone else think thats too high?

        At continuous WOT from a dead stop, my 1st-2nd shift is at about 5700-5900 RPM. Likewise for 2nd-3rd.

        6000 RPM may be a little high, but not necessarily by much.
