Re: When to shift/set shift light?
I would think you want to shift a couple hundred after max hp, so you land a couple hundred below. Making your average......max hp.

My shift light is set at 7100, but no doubt my actual shitfs occur prolly closer to 7300+ by the time I can watch the road and react. So, in order to up-shift closer to 7100, as others have said too, I prolly need to reset the light for 65-68 hundred RPM to allow for reaction time - especially in 1st gear; where things get pretty busy pretty quick!

Wow, my peak power was about 6700 rpm, so shift at 7, drop to 64 or 65
