I shift anywhere between 4-7K, depending on the situation and the mood. The car rarely dips below ~3.5K.

If you are going for maximum acceleration, you should shift at redline in the evo x. You should only shift early if your next gear change will land at higher hp level than your current rpm(notice I did not say torque). In the Evo, this will never be the case. This makes sense as the SS mode is set to shift at redline.

I shift at 4~4.5k nowadays, used to be around 3k. I found it's just easier and smoother to shift at a higher RPM's with our cars. Also the 5th turbo surge is just killing me these days. I do keep 5th gear above 3.5k all as much as I can, but the choke still happens a lot. My turbo is stock, and I honestly didn't notice this as bad as it is right now.

The Evo X manual says that?


Anyway, I recently posted this in another thread about daily driving.

And shift at 5k when driving spiritedly, and at 6k to redline when driving aggressively.. not that I'd ever do such crazy things
