I have mine set at 5,800 and here is how I came up with that number.
My car peaks at 5,300-5,400 rpm, when it shifts it drops about 1,800 rpms. At 5,300 it would fall to 3,500 which is below it's power curve so it would fall flat a bit until it built back up to 4,000. I set it to 5,800 and it falls back to 4,000 and pulls better. If you look at my dyno sheet you will see even though it's falling off after 5,350 it's falling slowly and making more power than it does below 4,000.
As for as what makes a good driver? I would not know, I have an automatic.
