what do you guys shift at? 3k daily? I was wondering what I should be shifting at because a lot of people have been telling me they shift at 2k daily. but that seems a lil low. how about you? what mods/hp and what rpm?

if your planning for an SR, then dont worry about shift points, I had 148 K on my KA when I puller her out and Id been hitting redline at least a few times daily, and I bought it with 120K, she never had any problems, they are strong motors, a few extra RPMs wont hurt, they will just keep the carbon from building up. , that is if your not worried about gas milage.

I shift at 3k-3500RPMs to save on gas. If I need to get moving fast I shift at 5k.
