Shift points for max perform.
Hey guys,
With the mods I have done to my car list below, what is the best shift points for each gear for max performance? When I open it upI am unsure ifI am shifting to early or too late. Any help would be apprecated.

Some of the old guys who has done competition races that I know say, shift gears when your hood begins to drop. So when you take off, your hood raises, as soon as it starts to drop, your not pulling hard anymore, so shift it.

I tend to shift at 5900rpm, just because it drops you right back into the power band in the next gear.
If I shift too early, like at 5000rpm, I get into the high 3000's and it takes a little more to get up to speed again.
Just my .02.
