Question shift light question

for anyone with 99-04 gt, what rpm do you shift at when racing from gears 2 and 3?

i bought a shift light not too long ago and i'm not sure at what rpm i should set the light to go off at. Should i set to 5600 or 5800 or other?

:bbb:

You won't shift exactly when the light comes on, so set it 200 rpm below whatever you decide to shift at.
Experimentation at the strip will give you the best idea of the rpm your car will respond to... everyone has slightly different theories about shift rpm.
