3.73 M6 guy's, what are you shift points?
3.73 M6 guy's, what are you shift points?
Mine seem kind of low to me. These are at 6K and I'm wondering if they are normal.
1st gear
(spinnin like a ****)
2nd 60-65 (spinnin)
3rd 85
4th 115
And at 80mph I'm at 2150 RPM's. I looked it up on F-body.org/gears and mine are off from what that says. And I'm sure my PCM is calibrated for 3.73's. Are these the normal shift points?

Re: 3.73 M6 guy's, what are you shift points?
Using a 25.5" tall tire, I came up with the following speeds @ 6k:
1st - 46
2nd - 69
3rd - 94
4th - 122
5th - 165
6th - 244 (if you could overcome the drag and the jump to .5 o/d)
A shorter tire will lower these numbers, but I think your tires are pretty close.
You may also want to check the accuracy of the speedo against the mile markers on the freeway, to see if it's off. Even though you may have recalibrated the ECM, it could be off a bit.

I think alot of it might be speedo lag. I ran it up to 6K in 3rd and pushed in the clutch and the speedo kept pulling and stopped at 91. And i heard the stock tachs might be off by a couple hundred rpms....

That sounds about right, what I about see with my 3.73's.
And makes jives with what I used to see with 3.42's. (numbers being about 9% higher (since 3.42's are about 9% longer than 3.73's)
