Ideal time to change gear is just over the peak power. If your vts outputs 130bhp @ 6600 rpm then change at about 6800-6900. That way your next gear is closer to the power band.

As for the actual power band for your car mr 16v boy I would say you will get a kick at about 4k then feel the horses working overtime at about 5.5k
