When to shift, and please dont laugh to hard...

I know I am going to get laughed at for this one, but here goes anyways, though, this is not a race and Im not sure Im posting it in the right forum.

Whats a good time to shift in a DX w/ A B16A [The 92-95 Series] so I can set my shift light accordingly...

[Covers his ears and hopes he can hear an answer through all the laughing.]

I shift my b16a at 7800. Max hp @ 7600 plus a few extra rpm's to carry me thru the gear shift - don't let up completely on the accelerator to keep the rpm's up between gears, just a little to keep from screaming into redline when the clutch is depressed.
