How do I determine my shift point?
 
How many rpm's should I shift at if my peak horsepower is at 6000 rpm. Do I shift at that rpm or a few hundred over? WHat is the correct method. I have heard it both ways.

Without dyno sheets, its pretty hard to guess, and what comes up is only a guess. The best way is go the strip and practice. On a 3 speed auto the shift points tend to be the same for every gear. Sticks and 4 speed autos sometimes require different points. All it takes is track time, alot of it.

Your shift point should be where it would drop your rpm's down to close to your peak torque point. there a website somewhere that if you know your torque and rpm it's at it can help with picking shift points.
