Default RE: best shift rpm

Dont you want to shift into the next gear at the maximum power.. So if your in first gear, and makin the most power at 4000 rpm for example. Dont you want to shift into second gear so that the rpms start at bout 4000 rpm in second gear. Hope that makes sense.

Who cares what the dyno says. Get to the track and experiment with your shift points there.
