i must be completely missing something ?!?

How did you come to the 5800 shift rpm?Have you done shift loops?

My combo:Eddie headed, zero deck 366,with a 230* cam,4.30s, and 3450# goes 93 in the 1/8. You can see that I have probably less motor, than you, and handicapped with quite a bit more weight.I shift at up to 7200.I am not smirking.
