I searched on stangnet [Searched not post] and got a few different answers.
Now, im asking you guys.

With my set up
Trick flow heads
Trick flow cam
Headers
H pipe with 2 High flow cats
UD Pulleys
65mm throttle body
Cold Air Fenderwell

What would you say I lose torque/hp and should use as a shifting point? I will be expeiramenting at the track, although do want a second opinion =]

Some say 5500 some say 5700 some say 6000 LOL

if you where to get it dyno you would know exactly when your power band stops... i'd hit up one of those 40 dollar dyno days an see where your shift points should be at.
