Default Best shift point?

I was checking out the stats on my 96 Accord EX here http://www.streettuners.com/cu...ccord

I'm still a little confused on the diff. between torque and horsepower but where should I shift for fastest times 4.5k or 5.5? Yeah I should probably know the difference but I'm a nuts and bolts guy not the numbers brainy type. All I know is the higher the number the better, unless its your quarter mile time lol.

6000-6200 on the stock motor w/ a good I/H/E + testpipe/highflow cat. Stock you wanna shift at 6000 or even a little less.

It all depends on the modifications too, like if you have cams or something, it's a whole different story. So, what do you have under the hood?

This might not be true, but it seems like Accords prefer to be shifted at lower RPM's than a Civic V-Tec. I'd say shift at 5 to 5.5k.

top power is at 5.5K....why would you ever want to go much past that.....your just wasting time while your flatlining your HP curve, and your torque hits the ****
