Going to redline is almost too pointless. I generally shift just after peak power which is 7600 rpm. No point in going to 8 grand if your curve is starting to fall.

No it's not...Going to redline in the b16 is completely necassary when trying to go fast. If you shift before redline not only are you going to end up falling out of vtec but you will be dropping out of the powerband.
In the LST I shift I hit 7-7.2k, which is completely necassary with the LS trans. If I don't I will fall out of boost.
