What shift point based on latest dyno . . .

Alright, details:

2001 Z M6 w/bolt-ons, Hooker LTs, true duals, CAI & SLP lid, Lakewood Boxed LCAs & Spohn LCA brackets (welded), BMR single-adjustable PHR, Random Tech adjustable Torque Arm set to -2.5', stock springs front and rear w/stock shocks front & rear.

I've run this setup at the track (except the LCA brackets) on ET Drags w/51 pound weight each rear wheel (bad for starting momentum) and netted a 1.96 with a 2500 rpm dump. I need to practice my feathering on the clutch admittedly, but with the high rpm, my pedal floats (need LS7 or something).

I'm running 3360ish weight at the track w/me in the car and 1/4 tank.

Now I've got good tires (M/T ET Streets - 28x11.5x15) on 15x9 Convo Pros so I should be around 30 pounds per wheel. What else is reasonable I should do to improve traction AND at what point here should I be shifting?

Thank you.

I know, I know. . . it's slow

Since I'm stingy w/my dough, I'm trying to maximize what I've got. Would LOVE to get into the 11s without the cam swap.

ring it all the way to 6200, the avg power from 4200-6200 is greater than 3600-5600, the 1-2 shift is a 2k rpm drop, 2-3 is a 1700rpm drop, its all about area under the curve.
