But thank you both, Obehave and PocketRocketOwner for your replies I really do appreciate em....

I was gonna ask the question just for GEE WHIZ purposes where people wait on the RPM's before they shift. I only ever go to about 4500 RPM's before I shift. Should I be going more or less?

I live in a pretty urban area. High revs are pretty rare. I don't get any pinging. Usually shift 4Kish
