i guess it depends if you have a standard cam. An aftermarket cam might keep pulling all the way to the redline so holding gears longer would be beneficial

my guess is it would be the same as at wide open throttle, it's going to shift at the same points anyway.

i raced with mine in economy..still shifted close to redline and got better times because in performance it was overreving and not making power at 5500 +
