Let's go Rangers!

For gas you should be between 2-3K.

I have found that for both economy and the easiest rev match between gears is shifting around 2.5K especially from 1st to 2nd.

Although you know that since you have an LS you have a speed limiter set at 118mph, so for speed purposes you'll barely use fifth and not even touch sixth unless you get a tune to take the speed limiter off and some different tires(since the speed limiter is there because the tires are only rated up to 118mph). And, as a couple others have said, for gas mileage you wanna stay closer to 2k rpms. |
