What do you use to find the best shift point?

Please dont say the limiter

Would it be just as the power band falls from a dyno read out as then you would have had the maximum power?

But if you shift at peek power you are not using it because the clutch would obviously take power away and it would be wasted.

Depends how I'm driving......if I'm taking it easy, anything between 3.5k to 5k; if I'm hooning it, between 5k to 6k.

Last RR session showed peak-power at 6008 rpm...
