It's as much about what you are shifting into as what you are shifting out of.

And taking into account each gear chang your torque will roughly half due to taller gear, myself always shift at redline 1st and 2nd then short shift a litle bit into 3rd and 4th due to taking longer to go from peak power to redline therefore better off being in next gear. eg for myself- 1st=6000rpm, 2nd=6000rpm, 3rd=5800rpm, 4th=5700rpm. After many a pass seems to net the best results.
End of the day its alot of trial and error working it out for your oun configeration, myself now with new motor will have to work this out all again.
