Not sure on rpm id be guessing mate the shift light was set at 6500rpm and it did not come on when i crossed the line. That mph gave me a ET of 10.8. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEIJOaaKot8

Not really part of the same subject, but mine was fine with 150rwkw but shat itself on the first hard change with 250rwkw. That was with manual and LSD, spooled 25 spline axles have been known to snap with standard RB30 NA power

you need 3.7's or 3.9's depending on a small variance on rpm, id go 3.9's and rev it to around the 7 - 7200 mark
