Sounds like were pretty much doing all the same stuff, except that you are shifting way lower than I. Ill give that a shot on my next practice.
You are officially my hero for the day =P

Thanks man.
The biggest thing is to DYNO YOUR CAR. And do it with the octane that you'll be running on race day. The place that HP peaks, or close to it, is where you should shift. Horsepower reflects an engine's ability to do work. Its a simple fact that the N54 loses some of its ability to hustle the 135i down the track after a certain RPM between 5000 and 6200, depending on your mods, tune, octane rating, etc. Establish where that point is and shift just after it. The extra RPM you have available to redline don't matter for shit if you don't make more horsepower up there.
