Default B18 shift points

i'm putting in an aftermarket tach, since my stocker redlines @ like 6600 or so. i'm gonna put in an autometer Cobalt 10,000 rpm tach. where should i set the shift point for the shift light?

well in that case, you dont need to buy a new tach because the b18a/b wont rev beyond 7k or so.

won't do you any good, unless you plan on replacing it with a gsr.

the only gsr engine you can get for $800 is a longblock. and you might still have a hard time finding one then.
