Where's the 8400rpm vote? You should have listed the redlines for each engine... while cruising around I'll shift at 3-4k, while pushing it I'll take it to redline, 8400.

Poll slightly tweaked.

At WOT, I'll shift at ~8100... I bounce it off the revlimiter from time to time...

I USUALLY shift at 3500 to 4000 rpm for daily driving ... and at 6000 when racing ... most engines stop developing HP before redline (which is at 6500 on my car)

I know a guy wiht a late 80's nissan truck and no fuel cut and hes taken it to 10K a couple times.


but yeah, I shift at like 4-5 at leats when im cruising. but my redline is 6400 on tach, 7300 on computer and i think it is like 7800 on the engine, but I usually shioft at the 6400 cuz it just dont sound good to me when I get up to 7500. but my problem is like jackassi said, I USALLY shift at 6400 from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd, all day long, which is probably why in the 2 months or so Ive owned the car ive about ruined the engine, but it should be rebuilt soon, and then ill practice takingt it easy cuz when I got a 8k engine under the hood Im gonna have to learn to take it easy.
