What is the ideal shift point for a drag raise?

With max power (and the best efficiency) at 5000 rpm, I've always shifted at 5500 which brings the motor back to 4500 for the next surge back up again.

I have the basic Empulse and shift at 6000 RPM for the best acceleration.
Not measured but just feels the fastest to me.
Once you go EV, gas is history!
