Proper shift point / powerband for racing?

#1 - I have to say that this forum does not condome street racing.

I dont know what bolt-ons he has, but being that the car has 205 hp stock, im guessing he has a little more than 215 at the crank (not that it really matters against a Z). Also, why are you dropping it into 4th at 70 mph? If you dropped it into 3rd he would have been a little dot in your rearview mirror. You need figure out which gears to select for your speed.

without bothering to read the manual or research/look up the numbers

one can feel where the powerband is

I need to work on smooth acceleration

at a track day you would think you'd eat him up alive
