[QUOTE="c6zhombre, post: 15587248, member: 76381"] Have you driven one of these terminators with a blower swap and E85? The power band gets extended....serious TQ will start earlier and extend further, broadens. The timing comes on earlier versus a pump gas setup. I've owned a lot of cars....from NA '98 cobra....strim'd '98 cobra 4.10 gears....c5z from stock to h/c 3.90 gears.....c6z. These terminators on ethanol are just a different animal with the power band. I'd prefer to start lower rpm and roll that gear out as long as possible and avoid a shift. Totally opposite of how I'd roll my 3.90 c5z....I would tend to approach it the the way you are thinking, roll start higher rpm and make the shift. That c5z TQ band was shorter and it made most it's hay up top rpm so it was beneficial to stay as high an rpm as possible. So much so that at a drag strip I would launch on et streets damn near off the rev limiter. [/QUOTE]
