No need to wind the motor to those limits considering your power falls off way before then. 5800 rpms is a bit too much on a daily driver for my tastes...

just my .02 cents

The factory tac is a bit hard to catch to see exactly where you are shifting. I set my chip at 5550, Its easier to see it on the Diablo Hellion. I do this so it goes just beyond the power band and when it shifts it staying in the power band of second gear. I set other customers shift points anywhere they want it.

Mine are at 5250 based on dyno pulls and power drop offs. No need to spin the **** out of it if you just losing power and most importantly, ET.

I also concur with Cyntax's statement.
