in traffic, my shift points are around 5 miles above those listed, shifting by the engine revs, except 5th. It's a little "luggish" around the 30-40mph range.  So, not bad, but really who watches the speedo to determine when to shift? You can both hear and feel when it's time..

+1...that chart also assumes stock gearing ratios

Looks like appropriate shift points from stone cold.

I'll have to eat crow on this one :blum1: I tried it today and was very surprised that it handle the 31 mph at 1400-1500 rpm.
Learn something every day. I won't be making a habit of driving slow as death but it's nice to know I did it once :yahoo:
