well i have had my 90 sc for a few weeks and I noticed that the power band is at about 3000 t0 5500 rpms. I was just wondering if it was safe to shift just after 5500 rpms, because it feels like im still picking up substantial power.


if anyone could let me know that would be great
 
Do you have a stick or auto. All are different but most auto's want to shift at like 5300, sticks are a little higher. You can't be sure until you try at the track though.
 
Get your car on a dyno and see where your power is at then shift according to that. anything else would just be guessing.
 
Unless you have serious HCIE mods, the powerband dies after 4000-5000 - anything higher is senseless wear and tear on the motor.
