I've never seen a shift light in mine and have reved as high as 8k. But at 8k I do notice the drop in torque. The engine revs faster than my tac needle can keep up with in first gear. I don't make hitting 8k a habit either. 2500rpm drag strip launches may be fine with the dual mass flywheel but not with a Fidanza. If you launch at 2500 with the Fidanza you'll drop like a rock and bog for a second before the rpm's come back up. I've launched mine with the Fidanza at 4500rpm's with Mickey Thompson s. Thats the sweet spot for me. Having a stroked LT5 with a Fidanza may not cause you to bog off the line because of the massive torque and hp they produce.
