Trans shift points?

After re-reading my post, I was not exactly clear.

Focusing just on my 2nd gear shifting:

• At just normal acceleration, it shifts (to 2nd) very nice. Not harsh, not sloppy. Very crisp. It just does it sooner than I think it should. I'll try to notice the rpm, but it's probably in the very low 2,000's range. I've rather it be more like 2,500 rpm.
• At full throttle rpm, I'm going to guess it shifts to 2nd at like 4,500 rpm. It's at that (relatively) low rpm and full throttle that it will bark the tires. I consider the tire barking normal. I just wish it would shift at 5,000 rpm versus 4,500 or so. It's difficult to know the rpm at full throttle because a) you know, the driver is kind of busy, and b) the tach seems like it doesn't like to move quickly, and it seems to lag and not be accurate when at full throttle.

In the quarter mile, my car runs across at about 5,000 rpm @ 97ish mph. That's why I would like the 1st-2nd and 2nd-3rd shift to shift at 5,000 rpm. But at full throttle, the 1st-2nd shift is probably 4,500 rpm, and the 2nd-3rd shift is probably close to 5,000 rpm. The shifting firmness is just right in all cases (cruising and full throttle). So, until it will shift at the correct rpm, I just hold the car in L1 until 5,000 rpm … same for L2, until 5,000 rpm.
