I have mine set to shift at 6500, with rev limiter at 7000 thru the MSD 6AL. Car feels like it is still pulling at 6500.

I have the 230/236 on a 112 LSA with STOCK heads in an M6 vehicle. My rev limiter is set at 6650RPM and I shift it at 6300RPM. Hope this helps?

Sounds good to me. I had mine set around 65-6600 with that cam.

Where would a safe shift be if I'm going with the single coil 612 springs...it shouldn't be too high....?
