is very hard to say without a dyno graph

but i'd say launch at 3000-3500 rpm and
first gear to second at 6500rpm
second to third at 6200rpm
third to forth 6200rpm


just my experience with the mods that u have.
I wouldnt sweat it jarrod. The pavement was cold and dam from it snowing all day.
i wouldn't think your car with those mods would still be making power past 6000rpm .. 5500 if that .. so i would shift it a little lower .. around the 5500-6K mark.

no offense, but shifting at the max power point is not quite right.... coz u want your next shift to be at the max power point when you shift :)
are we talking about drag or road racing here....cause if it is road racing there is no diffinitive answer to that question.....smoth it out ...that is how you drive fast...

straight roads are for fast cars curved roads are for fast drivers....
