Just got to be carefull that your note putting too much load on the engine (granted it'll be a biggy I'm guess) but if your exhaust not is substantially deeper than it would be than in a lower and your carrying more throttle just to sustain mph then you may be shifting too early - some times a cople hundred more rpm and a lighter throttle is better than knocking the bottom end out of the engine
