In an auto transmission of the older general types (not CVTs, 8 speeds, transmissions that learn the way you drive, etc.), you want to find the minimum speed for an up shift first. Then find the greatest amount of throttle position you can give it without delaying the up shift.
That's exactly what I did this tank, and I only managed upper 27s. Doesn't seem like it does much good for my car.
