Default Other peoples shifts at certain speeds....

Maybe i worded it wrong, but i wanna know at what speeds you shift when youre full all out racing. I know i dont have alot of mods, so it will be hard to compare. But i know a few non-pi stangs on here that have about the same mods, or same HP as i do... I was reading a post in the street racing forum page and someone said something about it. So i just took my stang for a ride to check it out. The highway was kinda loaded. So i couldnt come to a complete stop and try it from first... But in 2nd from about 2k rpms...

2nd.... Shifted at 60 mph @ appx. 5500 rpms
3rd.....Shifted at 95mph @ appx. 5500 rpms
4th....Shut down at 125 mph @ appx. 5500 rpms



MODS:
1998 Ford Mustang GT
5 speed Manual
3.73 rear end gears, Michelin Sport Cup 255/40/17's
Steeda Short throw shifter, King Cobra clutch, adj, cable, Steeda quadrant
Lowered 2 inches
Steeda pulleys, SuperChip, Screaming Demon wires and coil packs, BBK CAI, Edelbrock Nitrous ( Didnt use )
UPR X-pipe, Flowmaster Cat back ( I will have SLP LoudMouths on Tuesday )

Pretty simular, i figured you could squeeze more out, since you have PI breaths better up top, unlike mine. .... What kinda mods?

i glance at my RPMs, and whenever i'm close to redline i shift. i don't pay attention to speed until after i'm done.
