Around 6400 ya think? Hmmmm....
Pete and I were discussing the topic of where to shift for performance (on a stock ZR-1) with Jim (Jingles) Inglals (sp?). (Jim was the Corvette engineer that established - among other things - the drag strip numbers for the then new ZR-1) As I recall
he recommended POWER shifting the Z at around 6300-6400 rpm (no throttle let-up between gears).
I think Pete and I agreed that neither of us is going to do any POWER SHIFTING as long as its on our dime if something breaks!
But, to your comment regarding the UPSHIFT light coming on at 6400 for performance(?)...makes me wonder if it isn't more than just a "koinkeedink"
But, here's the thing: If Jim power shifts at around 6400,
according to the tach, the actual rpm might well be at least a few hundred rpm
higher than 6400, especially in the lower gears.
Just muddying the waters a bit...
