depending on mods the peak power of a vts is approx 6600-6800 so changing later than this is pointless unless on track and need to drag the gear out to save changing on a bend.

7800 with the 708's never ran a standard vts, but i always used to take it near to redline, to keep the engine reving

I agree...
Change at maximum BHP to drop you back into max torque. Even with 708s, it's pointless going past 7200 really, unless you have them set up incorrectly, lol.

a good driver doesnt need to be told what rpm to change at. you can feel how much the car is putting you in your seat. ideally you want to keep it in the power band so you rev it till you feel the car power dip. i.e. when you feel it start to shove you in the back less you change!
