How high to rev before shifting in each gear?

This car is a bit difficult to drive when you are a novice to the manual scene. I had driven automatics for a bit over 10 years so getting use to this new driving style was a bit difficult. Nonetheless, in my case I shift in between 3k & 4k fron 1 gear to six. Somehow, I get the feeling that my car likes it a bit rough when I shift at higher revs. To each their own but shifting around 3k is fine. However if you want to have more fun higher revs are a must.

This engine very much prefers to be shifted at 3k-4k versus a lower speed. It is much smoother and the power delivery is better.
