RE: Shifting
I found there's something that helped me a maybe shave a tenth off.
1st to 2nd - shift 5500 or so. reason - drop you back right to your peak tq and push you forward harder.
2nd to 3rd to 4th - shift 5750-5800 to get to your peak power

what he said, most importantly tho learn how to properly speed shift. if u r a newb to a manual then proper shifting technique is the first thing to learn. dont granny shift when u r at the track, u will get laughed at [8D]
