To shift light or not to shift light

Anyone running a supercharged or turbo stang, prefer a shift light?

I chose not to do the shift light. If I had I would have gotten the a-pillar pods equipped for the light, but I chose not to as the car has yet to see a track and I rarely shift at 6,000 rpm anyway.

Do you have your gauges set up yet?

Thats what I was thinking... I just thought it would go hand in hand with the supercharger, but I usually shift at 5k anyway...

no gauges yet, as no company out there makes any pillars for the '10 or any other type of gauge pod. Actually im sorry, the only one i've seen was the roush gauge pod. But who really wants to replace an airconditioning vent with a gauge pod?

I think its on the GT500s. It's not exactly that visible. A symbol lights up in red in the tach. I think its the SVT logo.

Looks like somebody needs to shift a little higher then.


Time for a drive to see if it works or not.

Do you use the red on your my color display? I don't even know if the 2010's have that ability anyway.

I never knew that the fuel gauge lit up in red when it was low till someone posted about it here. I use red on my display, so there's no way of knowing it changes without someone telling me.
