I haven't driven it yet with the G-tech meter set up to see any quarter mile improvement. The difference is big enough that I'm doubting I'll change cams when I pull the engine to do the rear main seal. This 2802 is broken in and doing fine.

I'll still probably lower my shift point from 5000, per the suggestions above and try that.

Thanks everyone for all the support and suggestions.

I would be very interested in what your tests show for performance shifting at 5000 RPM and then trying 4800 RPM. Doing some simulations using information from Dennis' dyno sheets I find 4800 RPM should be 1 tenth slower than 5000 RPM.

Interesting. There were previous comments about being faster with lower shift points than 5000. I'd sure hate to dink around with them and find it to be slower. IndymanJoe lives right by me. He and I should get together and take a ride in each others cars and see what we think.
