except ...

torque at the wheel = engine torque x gear ratio.

so, to calculate your shift points you have to take the engine torque vs rpm data and multiply by gear ratios. do that and you'll see that even with the drop-off in engine torque past 6000 rpm, you are still making more torque at the wheel than if you shifted to a higher gear. shift at redline.
