You'll have to find out where the redline is on your stock tach. Some people find their stock tach to be off as much as 500rpm, so what you basically want to do is shift just a hair before the rev limiter. On my 98 Formula, the tach was spot on, even with 4.10s, so I'd shift it at about 6200rpm on the tach.

5800 to second,6000 for third and above, that's with my tach though anything higher and I'm pounding the rev limiter
