Default crusing rpm speed....

This is kinda an extension off of that 4.10 poll. What do you guys shift at? and what rpm do you cruse at? I usually keep it at 2500rpm. But now I am thinking about keeping it at 1500rpm, but its so sluggish.... Then I usually shift at 3500rpm

on surface streets, i usually shift at like 1800 after 1st. There is too much traffic to run it. 3000-3500 if i need to move it a bit. Can run that rpm w/o boost no problem.
