Default 6sp question

Hi all,

For those of you 6sper's that have the stock 3:42 rear. When do you redline (MPH) in first, second, and third?

Thanks, BlackJack

THE BEST WAY TO FIGURE OUT WHEN TO SHIFT IS TO DYNO YOUR CAR!! WHEN YOU GET YOUR DYNO RESULTS, LOOK AT THE TORQUE CURVE AND FIND THE PEAK, THAT WILL BE YOUR BEST SHIFT POINT FOR EVERY GEAR.
