How much track experience do you have?

Simple
upshift 6500-7000
If you are shifting below that you are short shifting and will have slower lap times
you definitely don't want to be below 4000, no power

torque gets you going and HP keeps you going
wind it out, the rev limiter will protect you on upshifts.

A lot of where you shift has to do with your speed and what the next corner is and how close to the corner you are. Remember that shifting causes weight transfer. You don't want to up-shift because of some chart and a second later downshift because of the corner
