Isn't there a redline on your Tach? Try 5800 and see how that works ..

I beleive the stock rev limiter is at 5800 rpms. I shifted at 5600 when the car was stock. Also remember the dash tach isn't very accurate. I hooked up a shift light for more accurate shift rpms.

several companys make stand alone shift lights. MSD for example has 2; one has a dial on the back you set for the shift point, the other uses their rpm pills.
