Where should I shift to make the most power and stuff. Usually when I gun it on the freeway I take it up to about 5500 on the tach in first and second. What is it governed at (stock)? My car is mainly stock, just want to know where the power is for shifting, thanks.

 

You've got it right by shifting at ~5,500 on a stock motor.

You should be limited just over 6000 rpm.

I believe stock LT1s horsepower peaks at 5500 rpm. However, when I am racing I will take it a little past 5500 rpm so, when I powershift my rpm won't drop as much.

 

does this 5500 RPM shift also applies to v6 models, like the 3.4?
cuz im gonna need all the help i can get

 

that's a good question. I have no idea. Maybe you should just buy a Z-28. Then you will have a V8. Early LT1 Camaros are actually getting quite cheap in price.

 

i actually got an offer from my neigbor tht he wants to buy my 'maro. could use the money to buy a Z28 or buy a 350 n drop it in my crap RX7....
leanin more towards the Z.......use the RX7 for demo-derby or something
