3500 is bout where I would think of shifting a 4 banger.. With the larger engine bout 3 grand would be good for me..
I would be thinking of the NEXT gear and the rpm when that gear starts pulling. I would not want the next gear lugging for lack of torque curve..
Specially true with larger than stock tires..
