[QUOTE="biminiLX, post: 16721278, member: 7795"] Lots of great points in here. I don’t want to get into the canned tune debate but I will say if you go that route you better know how to datalog. On the shift points, there are newer cars with ‘no lift shift’ or our cars can use the WOT Box for an ignition cut. I bring that up because the ignition cut limits the mechanical over rev. The stock tach is terrible to read while racing and the stock shift light is slow, so even the fastest shifters will likely over rev if you try to hit close to 7000rpm shift points using the stock gauge. However, there is a performance advantage I’ve personally verified. Even a stock car, shifting at 6200 or 6700 is several tenths in the 1/4. There’s a reason Ford allowed a 7000rpm redline for racing. On a modified car, I’d recommend a 6300-6500 shift point over the 6700-7000 shift on a stock car. For the OP, I’d still definitely recommend modding and racing your Shelby as they respond VERY well to mild mods and it’s a blast to race. Good luck -J [/QUOTE]
