Honestly, I try to shift at the best shift point I can....period....regardless of whether its a street race or a daily drive. My car responds horribly in low rpm shifts as well....

I usually shift right at around 3k rpm. It wont move slow if you give her gas and hit that 3k rpm fast - just gotta shift through the gears quick ). 4k on occasion if i forget to shift lol she gets through the rpms so quick.

I don't pay that much attention to the tach, I go mostly by the feel of the engine and the sound. If I'm running hard, I'll watch the tach to make sure I don't hit the redline.....

I'll TRY and shift around 3500 in all gears. I find that my car doesn't run as well if I shift any lower.
