best performance shift points

im just wondering where the ideal place for my car to shift is? i have the hypertech and set the shifts to +3mph for 1-2 and kept +0 for the rest but i heard you actually want to lessen the shifts from the stock location, at WOT it looks like the car shifts almost at 6

With the stock cam I found that I ran my best times if I shifted betwean 5200 and 5400.

when i had stock gears my car liked 1-2 over stock shift points. when i swapped to 3.73's the car ran better when i went 2-4 mph UNDER stock ( no clue as to why it liked that).

It took me a few weeks of playing to find the cars "sweet spot"
