Automatic shifting

I have had my new CCLB 4X4 for 2000 miles and finally hit the gas! From a rolling start 1st gear went up to 4500 r.p.m. and I let off the gas. Assuming you are not under any load when does the tranny shift? Also what is the redline of the V10 there is none on the tach. One more question, how many cubic inches is the V10? Thanks.

"red line" is about 4800 -5200, depending on your tach. Cubes = 415, don't know about the auto shift, I have a manual.

The red line is close to 5200 ( you will know as the ignition gets retarded by the computer ) As far as shifting, if you get on it it will get really close in 1st. it will shift....trust me.....before redline. V10 really moves eh? Just imagine when diablo's predator tuner comes out for the V10......45 to 110 extra HP......

I guess I am going to need a little more time to get used to the extra two cylinders firing. This thing sounds like it is screaming when it is only turning 4000! I am starting to like it a lot. It is almost like driving an Aston Martin with an eight foot bed.

V10s almost sound like an Indy car when you stomp on it.
