Pick a new target rpm say 2500 so not that big of change. Try that for a tank, next tank try 3000. As SGII or other instrumentation helps a lot here as it doesn't take as long to get feed back.

You won't be able to use too much throttle after first gear because it will cause a downshift. Right up to that point is the right amount (IMO).
That sounds like a good experiment to try.
I ordered an Ultragauge because it's priced lower than the ScanGauge II.


The only thing I'm not looking forward to is calibrating it, according to the manual, it looks like a pain!
