When accelerating, I hit 6th at about 70, but I'll cruise in 6th at 65.

As long as RPM is above 2000 I will shift.

Here in the SLC area of Utah I try and keep my rpms in the 2800 to 3200 for 4th, 5th and 6th gears (my Stage IV 103 is coming into the torque at around 3K)

I wind the pi$$ out of my engine so 6th = 75+ and never ever will I be in 6th going uphill.

Before the cam change I had to be about 60 to 65mph.
