I shift around 3.5 when I go to work in the morning at 5am! Most of the time I am too tired to go any higher...but I try to do it once before I get there ....the ultimate wake up drug!

i shift at 9100 rpms all day, every day, even on my birthday. It sounds so good to hear all the nuts and bolts coming loose.

Between 3-4k rpms in general driving. Merging on to a highway 4-5k rpms. When i really need to get on it, more like 8k rpms.
