I usualy shift somewhere around 3-4000, mainly because the larger tires and higher gears that are attached to my 4 banger necessitate ringing it out a little...

The 3.0 gets into its power above 3000 rpms, I would say 2500-4000 is good for normal driving, just depends on how fast you want to get going.

I still shift after the "ooooooom" and before the "vrrrrooo"...but after installing the aftermarket tach I have found that I generally shift at 3500 and up to 5500RPM if I am "cooking some rice".
