really depends on the situation and what kind of racing you are doing

I'll agree with Clint. If you are drag racing I would say shift at whatever point the next gear will put you closest to you peak torque. If you are road racing, you don't always want peak torque after a shift. Most times you want some engine braking and enough torque to exit safely, accurately, and wo throwing your butt out. In a straight line when you are not looking at your gauges(which you shouldn't be), just shift close to peak RPM. Debating wether you shift at 7800 RPM or 8000 RPM is pretty stupid and a unless you are racing a car some sponsors bought for you, I really doubt you can tell the difference between 200 RPM when you are going 90 MPH.
