I’m doing an LT1 swap I just want to know if I’m still going to keep that cool little feature of being told when to shift up by my 92 cluster even with the swap?

 

I am pretty sure that it cannot be used,the only indicator for the LT1/T56 f-bodies was the skip shift indicator.

I thought it would be cool if it worked also.

 

You could get a aftermarket shift light and wire it to trigger the original indicator if you really wanted to.

 

You’re a smart man. Thank you much.

 

I've never had one, but does the stock light operate at normal RPMs, or only at Peak Power?

Most shift lights are there to prompt you to shift at Peak Power.

Other cars I've seen with upshift indicators usually do so where it is best for fuel economy, usually pretty low.

Right now my "shift" indicator is when I bang off the 7200rpm limiter in the GTA and say "Oh Shift!"

 

From the quick research I did just now, they are adjustable so you can program it to turn on at whatever rpm you’d like.

 

You seriously obey that light?

 

That light annoyed the **** out of me on my Firebird; I ended up taking the bulb out of the socket.

 

I don’t even obey the law my friend let alone that light. I just like it just cause it’s a feature that came with the car idk

 

On myprevious car i wired in the autometer shift light into the stock light but the more i started racing..i dont look down enough to see it and in the present car i used the bigger light to see it during a bring day at the track

 

Lmao!

I could imagine this driving you crazy!

 

I went with the "replace the cigarette lighter with a shift-light" modification, myself.
