gear shift and the dyno

Superflow says about 10% above peak, on glide that work pretty good,but 3 spd. or stick is a little much for low gear, what I always have found is usually shift low as soon as can without bogging then second close to peak to about 10% above peak hp rpm.
Like everything else depends on lots of factors,closer ratios are together less you'll need
to stretch out that gear,most cases the sooner you can get in high gear the quicker it will be.
