Default Shifting help

Ok, lately I've had a problem with hitting my rev limiter on my 2-3 shift. This only happens when I'm at the track. I dont know if it from my tires I use at the track, which are et streets, since they are 26" tall compared to my street tires which are 25.7" tall. I have a predator and my shift point for the 2-3 shift is set at 5800 rpm and the rev limiter is set at 6300 rpm. I've been getting off the gas right at 6000rpm and then smashing it again and it would shift fine. I dont know what to do to make it shift sooner.

Shift points that work on the street with street tires frequently do not work at the track with ET Streets. I had to back my track 2-3 shift point down by 4 or 5 mph compared to my ideal street shift points.
