I usually lock it up at about 18mph in 2nd gear, which is about 1250 rpm. Then I hold it in gear until around 2000 before shifting again. I try not to let it get below 1300 rpm while accelerating. Occasionally I will drop it into 3rd at 25 and cruise at about 1050, but I have to unlock or downshift if I need any power because it will lug the engine if I give it much gas at that speed.
