yeah, shifts at 5800. the car is starting to loose power. it does make more power at 5500, but the reason it shifts latter is because you also want to be in a higher rpm for the NEXT gear, you have to find a balance of the two. when you mod your car to breath better with a cold air intake, and free flowing exhaust, the powerband doesn't drop off as soon, it goes longer, which is why its benifical to move the shifts to 6000rpm. which is only acomplished with a chip on the 99's, or a reprogramed computer for the 99-2004's.
