Generally, you can shift right about when your RPMs reach 4-5k.
However, if you wait 'till redline to shift you will have better overall acceleration... but that doesn't mean you should shift that way all the time, know what I mean? One trick you can try is to do a nice pull in 2nd gear almost all the way to redline (this'll bring you to about 50 mph) then make a U with the shifter to put you in 4th. Then you can just cruise in 4th at 50mph. The more you shift the more comfortable you'll be with it and you'll find more tricks like the one I described.

Ahhh, and it's pre-modded! Cool!!

What color is the dash? It looks reddish in the second pic, but too orange in the last pic. Can't say I like the wheels but....
oh, and you need a short shifter!! ;)

I wish i could get mine, but i'm happy for you because i know the feeling of wanting something and finally getting it. I think everyone knows that feeling.
