I wonder what adding the 1.6 rockers would do. You'd be ingesting more air so would that also raise your rpm and power band?

i think think hes really gaining anything from revving that high. just it slows you down a lil bit when you shift just a lil bit which is probably why there was that .2 second gain

Your tach is probably off.

I use a raptor shift light. Dont know how off the pcm signal could be though.

My Autometer is off 100 rpm compared to my pcm. Your not even hitting your rev limiter so I think your tach may be off...

Thats definatley possible -- ill have to hook autotap up and see if any difference shows up between the light and the signal.

As far as the rev limiter goes, i have no idea where its set at -- previous owner used a hypertech on the car

No sense going that high with a stock cam. I shift at 6600, spin to 6800, but I make usable power to 7.
