Default What's the ideal shift points for the '97-'98 A4?

I am toying with changing my A4 shift points. What MPH/RPM seems to work best? :confused:

Nearly Stock, I would let it at about 5800.
When you have air-mods then I would raise a bit to 6000.
That worked best for me.
Over 6000 I didn´t gain anything.

Once you have more mods :) you will raise the shiftpoints more and more.

Thanks for the tip. After my air mods, I did raise it to 6600...I just wanted to get the rev limit out of the way. I am also curious about shift points...1-2, 2-3, 3-4. What are the optimum shift points in MPH?

Uh, can´t answer that mph question!

I programmed it with the hypertech and tried to get the shifts at the rpm`s
I wanted.
That was at 6000rpms at all shifts, when I had only Vortex.

I now will need to program for mph with the LS1 edit.
I will need to find out myself.
Want it shifting at 6200 for NOS
and 6500 NA on my heads/cam setup.
