(when you call on oomph and are at lower speeds, 2nd is obviously easy to hit as it is on the far left and quite frankly I doubt that I will ever use 4th gear in anger)

Once I get the cooler in I can finally do the last stage of my "get acquainted with your car" routine that I've used with my last three manual transmissions: Taking first up to the redline and then staying on the top of the revs (5k-7.5k in this case). Without the additional cooling the car can't be operated this way for long enough to get familiar. Both on the road and in sim racing, I tell speed and shift points more by sound than reading gauges (keeps my eyes on the road).
Used to be you waited until the valves floated before you grab the next gear.
