on my diesel c6...
if it's accelerating slowly, it shifts at 2000rpm, only drops like 3-400rpms

if your really rocking it'll shift as high as 2,600rpms
i mean... it's vacuum controlled, so your foot controls the shift points to some extent

you can also adjust the shift points somewhat on the valve which resides on the driverside of the injection pump.
