Re: Shift points

yoyoyoyoyo everyone..
your shift points will most likely differ from chip to chip.  each chip drops off power differently.  if you ever happen to get your car dyno'ed and have them run thru your gears, then you will find out your optimum shift points from where the graphs cross each other.  I never got 1st and 2nd done, but 6300 is optimum on my car with a q-chip when shifting from 3rd to 4th.
