Dan, Lonnie and Glen, though I have never tried (yet) shifting at 5100 and 5500 seems low for a small block that doesnt make tons of HP? You would be putting the load on the motor at that RPM and even a good SB would not be able to carry that load/weight? Use the multiplication of the gears, converter and trans to do some of the work.

Mr Parker have you ever shifted that low in your bad *** corvette? Will call you in a few days to catch up.
