3500... you go save gas.

or you could just use your brain and shift gears when you think it feels right, cause you dont HAVE to change gears only when the light comes on.

If the ecu is stock the rev limiter should be at 7900/8200 so you can set it at any where in that area.

if your engine is stock doh make much sense

safe place to set your shift point for when you racing is 8000 rpm, and for ecu well you can get them here in Florida chipped or buy a already chipped ecu here in florida, but if your motor is all internal stock and no bolt-on mods then leave the stock ecu in the car as it won't make any difference.

Good Luck...

I think you should do a proper engine maintains before you go running your RPMs so high, The RPMs will reach slower than the engine breaks if poorly maintained. Mr. Green

you can just install a shift light and use it with your stock tach instead of having a wall clock on your dash...
