Mr. Evo IX, I didn't say to short shift - I said to shift at 7k, which is very normal for a stock turbo Evo. I've been doing this for over 3 years, and I raced with the 6spd hundreds of times. It DOES depend on the powerband, but typically if you shift around 7100, you will start the next gear at ~5500. 5500-7100 gives the most average HP. You don't want to shift at a point where you're already at peak hp in the next gear. You want to straddle peak hp so that your average hp through the gear is highest.

Now that i've got a bit more miles on the new setup, i can tell even on the street that 7k may be the best place to shift; maybe even less???

I've getting 18inch wheels and running 245/40/18's tires. I'm hopping this will in some way contribute to my mph without hurting my et
(we can all dream right?). I think i'm running out of gear with my current set up of 245/40/17....

Awesome, that's what i was hoping to hear. Right now 1st gear is a joke and i was sooooo beyond peak hp (rpm) going through the traps it wasn't even funny. The tires seem to be great for a 5 speed though.
