L98 owners: What rpm does tranny shift at?

Hey all L98 owners, what rpm does your tranny shift at WOT from 1-2. Mine hits about 4500 then shifts into 2. How bout you guys? Do I need to adjust my TV cable?

well, i don't have a L98, but on my LB9 (305) at WOT it will shift at 5500 and my redline starts at 5000 so, 4500 sounds really low on a 350.

It varies, but usually around 4,750 rpm. 2-3 happens at just over 5,000 rpm.

1-2 happens at about 5000 rpm.
2-3 goes to around 5200 rpm.

This is after I replaced the Ignition Contorl Module. Can't wait till the tracks open again!
