what do you think is the perfect rpm range to shift at if your racing? also.. are there any shift kits or anything for manuals to help inprove shifting?

 

I would like to know the same thing. I would also like to know when the best rpm is to shift from 1st to 2nd and ect. My 95 318 runs like a champ and im all stock except with a dual exhaust

 

I dont know, but I have read that the stock intake manifolds should preform best between idle and 5000rpm, and then some aftermarket intake manifolds are designed for a 1500 to 6500rpm range. I never have taken my 5.2 over 5000... so I dont really know anything.

 

http://www.apsprecision.com/ for a shift kit. And I've never driven a stick so I wouldn't know the other questions [&:]

 

yeah.. well i can really feel it pull up till about 3500-4,000... so thats usually when i shift (4,000) but then it gets into 3rd and just bogs out.. maybe 4:56's will take care of the problem

 

those shift kits are for auto's. If your looking to mod your manual transmission, look for a short throw kit for your manual transmission.

those shifters only go up to the year 2000.. would they still fit my 2001??

 

Well I have had my truck hit off the rev limiter a few times but that was on mis shift while i was burnin rubber. lol. But like from a dead stop my truck will take off good and when she hits 3rd gear, buddy hold on cuz it flys then, 4th really isn't that great. I have ran the 1/4 mile in my truck where I live but it is on a regular 2-line road. It is a little up hill and i can run the 1/4 in not sure how many seconds but I run about 100 mph on average.
