You should be shifting a stock L98 in the 4500 range.

When my car was stock, the ratios worked out in my 4+3 that I maximized my torque usage shifting 1st to 2nd @ 4600, and all other shifts at 4400.

It wouldn't surprise me. Look at my dyno graph when the car was stock. The 'bigger' curve is torque. All they do is make noise over 4200 for the most part.
