What's the easiest way to hook up a shift light?

Your dont set the RPM light to your redline. You set it where your powerband starts to fall. Actually, you need to set it REALLY early bc 1st is so quick of a gear you want to be able to shift b/c u over rev and lose power.

In that case, i need to have it set for 6250, cuz on my dyno thats where HP falls, and my TQ starts to fall after 5500.

Look at everyone's dyno sheet, the hp and tq curve always cross right near 5500.

Near 5252 to be exact, because of how torque and horsepower are related. Horsepower is a function of torque and RPMs when calculated, P = (T x w) / 5252.

P = Horses, T = Torque in lb-ft, w = Rotations in RPM. So for example an estimate for Horsepower at peak torque on a car with a peak torque of 200lb-ft at 3400rpm should be 129 or so. If the car hits peak HP at 6800rpm and the engine's producing more like 140lb-ft of torque, it's producing around 180hp. See kids? Show this to your parents when they say you can't learn anything off the internet.
