Sorry if this is a dumb question, but on a long straight at a racetrack, does it make sense to accelerate all the way to redline before upshifting? I'm driving a very nearly completely stock 1999 Boxster. I'm wondering, as I know the torque curve maxes out around 4500-5000 rpm, and the hp curve maxes out around 5500. Does it make sense to upshift around 5000-5500 instead of the 6500 redline?

Thanks in advance,
Jason
