Thanks for all the help guys, but I think I'll just continue shifting at 2750-3k RPM. I had no idea how effective it would be and quite frankly I'm amazed. I don't always shift at those RPM ranges but when I'm Highway driving I do. First gear is 3k, second is 2750 and 3rd is 2750 then 4th to 5th is either 2500 or 2750 depending on wether I'm going to drove at 55 or 65. Seems to work pretty well.
