Default Z06 intake and shift points.

with my mods listed below how much would i gain by adding ls6 intake and raising my shifts points. it shifts at 6200 to 2nd and 6400 to 3rd right now but it feels to early????help ran last night 12.17@112 7.78@91 seems to be falling off a little on mph on the other end. :mad ls1 edit has beed done also.would 6500 do the trick??

What rpm did your hp peak at, when you dynoed the car? Also did it fall dramatically after the peak? Optimal shift points are usually a 100-200 rpm past peak hp. But other factors can come into play. A weak fuel pump could limit your performance. Weather conditions also will have an effect. My basically stock A-4 is set to shift about 150 rpm higher than stock settings, but in high humidity the car feels sluggish.I know you are looking for that magic 11 second timeslip, and there is no doubt your car can do it, given the right conditions. I'm not going to recommend one way or another, but suggest you ask your tuner.
