Shift points

["Billy T." <btylaska@onramp.net>]

What is up Jettaboys?

Name is Billy T. and just came over from the GTI List (slippin')

Anyways, just thought I would give my opinion of shift points.

One and two have the gearing to carry the revs all the way to redline. 
In the higher gears, the loss of power is much more evident, so lowering
the shifts to say 5800 from three to four, and even lower still from
four to five, say 5500 or maybe even less.  I don't do much of my
driving at 120 mph, so you will just have to play with the four to five,
and find out what works for you.
