This is a GOOD thread... i've been wondering this same thing. I'll usually hold till very close to redline before shifting. I've found that shifting around 5000 tends to have a bit of a bog going in to second gear. But when shifting just before redline you land smack in the middle of the power range. Also, if you are power shifting you'll know there is a big problem with wheel spin in second gear. I've gotten much better results by quick shifting into second and slipping the clutch; while still powershifting into third.
