I agree, its about the actual RPM that you begin the shift, and how quickly you are expecting the synchronization to occur. The gas peddle position is mostly irrelevant once the clutch has been disengaged. I shift at 7500 with my setup, as I expect most people here will be. I did not do it long on the stock type clutch configuration, so maybe I should stress a little more that all my experience has been with lightweight racing clutches and perhaps with a stock style clutch, others may not see the same endurance in their trans.

Yes, we're vehemently agreeing with one another.
The fact you've got low-mass components make a huge difference. Less mass to slow down to synchronize the input and output shafts. If folks all go to lightweight twin disk setups, they'll prolong the life of their transmissions, even if they never power shift. (Within certain limits, the harshness of take-up in a true racing clutch can be hell on various bearings and whatnot if not driven with care)
