  • shift points on stock valvetrain

    Alright I was wondering what everyone suggested is a safe number to raise the shift points too. I have nitrous so I dunno if that makes a difference or not since when using the nitrous the rpms hops up a bit. I have no valvetrain upgrades btw, just bolt ons and nitrous

      6400? Are you sure that's safe? I had to make numerous valvetrain mods with my cam in order to make it safe to raise the rev limiter to 6500. I got new lifters, pushrods, springs, and retainers. The springs are for the increased lift of the cam though. I could be wrong and I probably am. Perhaps someone could tell me if/why that may be wrong.
