                        I shift at 7500. Once I can afford a software flash, I'll shift at 8k.

                              1st: Anywhere from 3500-5000
                              2nd: 3500-4000
                              3rd: 3500 or less
                              4th: 3000

                              That is, unless I'm on a straightaway with little traffic...;)

                                normal driving, 2000-2500rpm. with 4.10s and a stroker.. I don't really see the need to beat up on my car driving to work or the store, although I'll rev up to 7000-7200 once or twice a trip because it needs to be driven.

                                if I don't come to a complete stop, I can go into 2nd as low as 800rpm
