So 400 above when you stop making power is your power band?

You have to take into consideration that once you shift, the RPMs will drop down from where peak power is generated, and so you're essentially climbing back up the curve again. What you want to do is shift at a point that balances the drop-off in power past the peak with the drop-off in power before the peak. In most cases, that would be at/near redline.

I've always gotten better times and response shifting just above peak than shifting just below redline. Granted, I never raked out my SOHC, so it may be a little different due to the difference in torque.

Save your money kid. Turboing a car shouldn't be a priority for someone who's JUST now learning how to drive. if I were you I would wait until you're 18 or so to do this. Once you move off to college you'll have wished to hadn't tried to impress anyone in your high school with your honda.
