I alway keep the rpms in my power band 3500-7000.
I agree with Turk though, with a BB you don't have to downshift as much, of course while you are lugging along at 3000 rpms the guy with the screaming small block is blowing exhaust fumes in your face. But at least you not wearing out your right arm shifting.

Lets face it if your using your right arm to shift, how are you gonna hold that cigarette?
