Question for all you 5speed 305 TPI guys

Since you have the stock intake manifold, probably around 4600 or so. I am able to feel mine give up and stop pulling. You should shift just before that.

4600 is low as hell to shift. I've got an auto car, but I shift 1-2 at 5300, and 2-3 at 5100. 4600 = short shifting and will hurt ETs.

I think shifting at 4700 rpms is the best shift point. I got my best timeslip shifting at that rpm range and you shouldnt shift before 4700 and no later than 5000 rpms especially with the 3.73 gears, which I have also. Good luck

MrJ my car shifts @5500 1-2, and 5100 2-3 i really wish it would shift around 5000 because i can feel the car losing power after the 5000 also, when you shift does the car shift for you, or when you take it in to 2 will it shift right away? On my car for example @ WOT i can move the shifter into 2 around 4800 and the car will AUTOMATICALY go to 5500. it really gets me mad. Does your car do that? When i'm not @WOT and i shift, it will go into gear right away. But, hey i guess thats why its called and automatic

I've got a Trans Go shiftkit. I can hold any gear as long as I want But the tranny shifts, automatically, at a little over 5000 for 1-2, and about that for 2-3 also.
