What RPM do u shift?

Just wondering what RPM do u guys shift on the Evo normally, daily driven?!

What rpm do u get out of first gear on a stop? 2000? or below 2000?

I drive my evo everyday and I usually shift right at 3000 rpm....(that just me).
When i shift around 3000 RPM. 1---2, 2---3, the car usually "bog" a lil?!
I felt like it's easiler to shift (the clutch engage better) if i shift around 3200+ from 1--2, 2--3
Will upgrade the clutch help? I'm not a high RPM shifter, i drive this car every day. Gas is expensive

I've brought this car new, , 19000miles so far. I think the stocker is still holding up strong. (did launch a few times....and i launch HORRIBLE...didn't slip good enough)


thx for reading this

i just got my 2006 MR and i notice the same "bogging" from 1--2, not so much 2--3, and im shifting almost right at 3000

but im kinda grannying it right now to break it in, but in my last car i usually shifted at 3500 or so

Between 2500 and 8200. 2500 if I'm thinking about staying out of the turbo and saving gas. 8200 if I glance up during the 2-3 shift on the on ramp (gotta pay more attention to the revs). I get on the interstate every day to work and back so 70mph gets me into the turbo anyway so 22mpg is all I can hope for anyway, so I shift wherever the mood and the radar detector tells me to.

From: somewhere testing various tires, brakes, and suspensions.
street - 3200 to 3500, less "bogging"
drag - 6800 first warning light, shifting at 7200 to get the turbo back into spool
