I shifted my AOD at 5500 last year at the track.
This year the car is going to be much different.

what about just leaving it in D the whole time?

That's exactly what you're supposed to do.

6 grand with a cam. Pointless to pull it past six unless your gears suck and you need to keep it in the power band for the upshift. I plan on keeping my bottom end together for many runs to come, so I have a 6200RPM pill that keeps it under control
