I just did some "rough" calculations based on tire diameter, speed, etc., and it looks like I might have shifted out of 2nd at 6600 rpm. Calcs were rough, and I can't watch the tach when I'm doing this, so shift was probably lower. Sure was screaming though.....

You can calculate your optimum shift points and it will be based largely on your torque curve. Just because your red line might be at, say, 6500 doesn't mean that's the place to shift. Here are my shift points as calculated from a myriad of data.
