When my 98' was stock, My best times were produced by shifting at 5200rpm in 1st, and then shifting at 4800rpm.for 2nd, 3rd,and4th
After Pi headswap 6000rpm in 1st then 5500rpm 2nd and 3rd
Pi with SCT tune, 6000rpm all gears

That's hilarious! My wife did the same thing!
Anyways, yeah I usually shift around 6000 from 1-2 and then 5600-5800 from 2-3 and 3-4. I usually just barely have to shift into 4. If I don't I will go off the limiter . I seem to be getting pretty good at bouncing off the limiter anyways.
