2004 5spd shifting

I just bought a 2.7 and I was wondering what are the rpms that everybody switchs gears at? I cant hear the engine. The truck is also worth the money. It is faster than my 3vze.

if I'm driving aggressively i shift at 5000, if you go much over that the engine will flatten out and slightly after that the rev limiter will keep you under 5800, if I'm driving normal i will shift at 3600-4000, the header and exhaust system really opened up the top end, so a stock truck's shift points may be lower, if i punch it in 1st around 2500, it will blaze the 33's, wet of course, and i can usually keep them spinning through 2nd and scratch in third
