RE: Shifting Info
yea, towards redline, sometimes I'll shift at 5700 RPM, b/c well I dont have a shift kit, so when it hits just before 6k, it shifts. Btw, have you ever seen your car with tailight tints, and no spoiler? I think it looks really good.

RE: Shifting Info
i got a little piece of red electical tape and taped it on the plastic cover right over the red line in my car. as soon as my rpm needle dissapears behind the tape, i know to shift. that way im right on the redline without running into my rev limiter. (i left my rev limiter alone when i programmed my car. didnt want any blown engines 
)

RE: Shifting Info
This is the way I have my auto setup.
Max RPM in drive: 6050
1-2: 5700
2-3: 5600
3-4: 5500
The reason I set 1-2 so low is when I had my car at WOT I was hitting my RPM limiter. So instead of pushing my car futher into red, I pushed my shift points back.
Hope that helps!
