How High to turn the RPM's at the track?

[bigblockfoxbody]

I noticed after my tune that they upped the rev limit. I have a box tune essentially, and never had on the dyno. Where do they stop making power on a stock motor and how high can you go before it gets dicey?

Mods are cai, x pipe, cat back and suspension. I shifted at 6500 and 6800 but it slowed down.

68 in first? Those are peak times to shift

I usually go 6800 first and after that 6500 and nothing more.. with stock 3.55's when I shift at 6000 in 3rd gear I actually get to 100 a lot quicker then just letting the car go over 6500+

Depends on altitude also. But 6500 is right where u wanna be to hit the power band right

Been there done that. Now I went back to 3.55s and juice. Juice does better with 355s your in the safe zone for longer putting the power down longer

Thanks for the input.. I was always wondering if 4.10's would be too much with juice.

Go 4:10's or lower in my opinion. I would recommend milling heads and doing regrinds over nitrous. Safer in my opinion. Suspension will help more than anything.
