Thumbs up What RPM do you shift at?

I would like to know what rpm you guys shift at on a daily driven basis. I shift at 3000 if im not in a hurry, and 3500 if I am.

I'll do that on occasion too. I normaly shift at 2800 when I don't care about accelerating quickly, and I'll shift at 4700 when I want to go. Most of the KA's powerband is in the lower RPMs anyways.

For 1/4 mile times I shift @ 6000RPM, that way I pick up the bulk of the torque band at about 3200RPM. All I can say is "SKIRT!!!"
Daily driving I shift at 3500RPM.

I shift when the rev limiter tells me not to rev any higher. Lol, anywhere in between 1500 and 3000 for normal, and anywhere I need to for other times.
