Sorry to revive an old thread, but just wanted to say when you look at your dyno graph, you don't shift at th eRPM you make peak power, you want to shift 300-500rpm after it. You also want the engine to drop around its torque peak on the gear change. I'd say around 6500-6800rpm would be a safe bet. If you don't have a shift light, I highly advise getting one, its almost impossible to be consistant on the shift points without it 6BOOST PS, Congarts on the time mate, sure to improve on it too Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

well prob makes sense, once the car shifts up a cog... the revs drop back closer to it's peak power point..
