Hey F-bods. OK I know PEOPLE dont LIKE the Hypertech Programmer at all. I Bought the damn thing cuase I like the Making the settings different with the computer. PLus I added GEARS. so I had to recalibrate the spedo. NOW for the question:

I have tried Various Settings of the shift points when IM at the TRACK. I wanted to know. ; from people that are using it; Which are the best SHIFT POINTs settings? Which setting are you guys using for your runs? Thanks

Chris

 

Just make it shift at 6000rpm if you're kind of stock...

 

every car is different. in order to get the BEST shift points for your car, you need to dyno it, and set the shift rpm a couple hundred rpm LOWER than peak power, that way you dont ever fall out of the power band. just what has worked best with cars using Ive seen using LT1 edit and LS1 edit, they got the best track times with it shifting just before the power peaked.

 

I have 3.73's also, and I can't grab traction out of 1st so it is set at about 5500rpms right now. Rest shift at 6k.

 

OK. ANother question. IN Terms of the SHift points For Example; 1-2 shift +1 ,,, 2-3 shift +2. Which on these are the best shift points in other words. Which number shuold they be set at.?? Right now MY 1-2 shift is +6 LOL. IT revs all the way up. I like that LOL
THanks

ttt

 

i had mine conservitaley (sp.) set at +2,+3,+6

worked good for my car, u have to remember LT1s dont make much power up top....i think about 5500 rpm is where they begin to drop if i remeber right

the setting for those were
1-2 - 5975
2-3 - 5875 (I think)
3-4 - who cares, lol

dyno test would be best proof and help u the most.

 

SO should I gone ahead, and change my Rev Limter from 6000grand. TO 5500 grand?? Cuase your right. THe LT1;s are noturously good for Low end power. TOP end IS not so good
Chris

 

no put your REV LIMITER to whatever u want, i went 6200, highest you can go.....shift points is what matters man.

 

im interested in this as well most people always just say leave the stock settings but i feel with my headers cutout and gears theres room for a little more rpm, i have the power programmer plus
