Not Ranked
I have always shifted my car by the feel and sound of the engine i very rarely look at the tach unless i'm showing off for some body in the car with me then i will run it up to 5500 then shift and i have noticed that the tach will drop to about 3500 after the shift. what you are doing is called short shifting and that is easier on the power train so you are doing nothing wrong you are just playing it safe with the power train and thats not a bad thing,winding it to the moon and dropping the clutch is not good for things either,so pick a spot in the power band to leave the line in an rpm range that feels comfortable for you and shift when you feel it necessary(by sound and feel)and enjoy you self.
